Q: How effective are wood-burning stoves?

• <div><p>Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That&rsquo;s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.</p></div>

Q: What stops water going down a chimney?

• <div><p>Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.</p></div>
