Useful next steps

• Stop using a fireplace or appliance if you notice active smoke, flame, suspected carbon monoxide, or unusual burning odors.
• Collect photos of visible staining, loose parts, cap damage, or soot before calling if it is safe to do so from the ground.
• Use inspection before repair decisions when symptoms could have more than one cause.
