I am experiencing a back draft from the vent pipe/chimney of my gas water heater. The pipe is obstructed and needs to be cleaned out. Who does this work? Do I call a chimney cleaning co. or the plumber who installed the water tank 5 years ago?
Does the pipe go up through a second floor or does it just go straight up like from a closet or the garage? Where does it terminate to? On your roof?
Are you able to check the vent pipe cap at the roof to see if it is rusted out, or damaged and blocking the pipe?
