draft problem

CA, United States

We replaced part of a stove pipe this summer to triple to help with the smoking in the house. we cleaned the chimney and inside pipe but its still smoking on only one part of the pipe and it at the top going out the box. Anything that may help us out??

so many factors will affect the draft in your home as the chimney is the biggest ‘hole’ in the house that your home can breathe thru.
Have you- reinsulated? replaced windows/doors? have fans on that exhaust out of the home on while the fireplace is working? Is the chimney tall enough? Are there surrounding trees or buildings affecting the draft?
Open the above doc and see if you can answer the questions then go to http:www.csia.org for help from a sweep
