Take the Chimney QuizIf a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding, smoke is filling the house, you hear a roaring or rumbling in the chimney, you smell gas, or bricks and flue tiles are falling, leave the home and call 911 first. These tools are for problems you can think about calmly, not emergencies in progress.
These tools give educational guidance only. A real diagnosis and a firm price come from a technician looking at your chimney in person.
