Professional Chimney Downdraft Repair Services | Bob's Chimney

A downdraft repair  forces smoke, cold air, and harmful gases back into your home instead of venting them outside. At Bob’s Chimney, we provide expert downdraft solutions to restore proper airflow, eliminate smoke infiltration, and keep your fireplace operating safely.

Why Does Chimney Downdraft Happen?

Downdrafts occur when air pressure imbalances or structural issues reverse the chimney’s natural draft. Common causes include:

  • Negative Air Pressure – Tightly sealed homes or competing exhaust fans (like HVAC or kitchen vents) pull air backward.

  • Poor Chimney Height – A short chimney doesn’t create enough draft to overcome wind pressure.

  • Blockages or Creosote Buildup – Debris, nests, or thick creosote disrupt airflow.

  • Improper Flue Sizing – An oversized or undersized flue fails to maintain consistent draft.

  • Wind Turbulence – Nearby trees, tall buildings, or roof peaks deflect wind downward.

Signs You Have a Downdraft Problem

  • Smoke blows back into the room when using the fireplace

  • Cold drafts enter through the fireplace when not in use

  • Lingering smoky odors even after the fire is out

  • Difficulty starting or maintaining a fire

  • Increased soot buildup inside the home

After an emergency chimney leak caused by a previous contractor’s negligence, Bob’s Chimney sent Joseph, who quickly diagnosed the issue and provided a fair quote. The repair crew worked tirelessly from 9am to 7:30pm—scraping, repointing, installing new flashing, adding a cap (free of charge), and sealing the chimney. Excellent work! Highly recommend Bob’s Chimney for professional, reliable service.

Anthony V.

They cleaned my chimney and installed a custom chimney cap at my house. I couldn’t be happier with the result! They will also deduct the cost of the chimney cap if you decide to reconstruct your chimney. I highly recommend this company for their great work and excellent customer service!

I recently purchased a home and had to have a chimney cap, drip edge flashings, pipes and chimney sealed. Rafael was a lifesaver! He was very professional, friendly, and explained everything that needed to be done. He was fast, efficient and cleaned as he went.
