Problem: Down draft on chimney caused by one or more of the following.
• Cast iron damper in “CLOSED”
position.
• Open damper.
Possible Causes:
Remedies:
• Flue has a cold spot which
inhibits exhaust discharge from
rising properly.
• This problem may occur in factory built ues because the insulation
has settled or a seam has ruptured. In masonry ues, mortar loss
may be causing seepage of cooler outside air into the stack. Check
entire ue for structural integrity and leakage. Correct or repair as
needed, or replace or re-line the chimney.
• Remove obstruction.
• Increase chimney height.
• Open backdraft damper.
• There is an obstruction outside
chimney, such as a tree.
• Flue is located too close to the
peak of the roof or does not rise
above it to provide the proper
draft.
• Backdraft damper is in the
“closed” position.
