Utility Flue Obstruction Removal

Blocked utility flues can be dangerous. Specifically, they can stop your water heater, furnace, or boiler from venting the right way. As a result, exhaust can back up into the home.

At Chimney Monkey, we safely remove obstructions to restore airflow. Additionally, we test draft so your appliances run safely and use less energy. Therefore, you get a clear vent path and peace of mind. Moreover, we can suggest simple add-ons to prevent repeat blockages.
