Understandinganddifferentiatingtheconditionswhich

essentialtotheirsolution.

• FlueLeakage

 Check for improperly connected flue joints or a

damaged ue joint in the chimney system. Such

leakagewouldreducedraft(airwouldbedrawnin

accompanythisproblem.

• FlueBlockage

 Thedampershouldbeopen.
