Reverse airflow that pushes smoke or fumes back into the room.
When chimney draft fails and combustion byproducts reverse down the flue into the living space. The causes we look for are a cold flue, a blocked cap, negative house pressure from exhaust fans, or a competing taller flue pulling against it. Because this is a live CO risk, we treat it as a same-day diagnostic, not a wait-and-see item.
