Common signs: smoke coming back into the room when the fireplace is on, a dark sticky buildup in the flue, animal sounds or droppings in the firebox, water staining around the chimney, a damper that won't open or close cleanly, and last winter's smell lingering year-round. Any one is worth an inspection.

Yes. Gas fireplaces make less creosote than wood but still need a yearly safety check of the vent path, burner, pilot, gas connections, glass-front seal, and chimney cap. Pittsburgh customers who report a gas smell when the fireplace runs almost always traced it to a skipped yearly service.

Most often a closed or partially closed damper, an obstructed flue (creosote, a nest, or debris), a cold flue that needs warming, or negative pressure pulling air down the chimney. The $89 inspection pinpoints the cause - and smoke backup is a 'stop using the fireplace until we look' call.
