Here I talk about possible causes of backdrafting and the signs you can look for to see if you have a backdrafting issue in your home via water heaters or HVAC systems. Backdrafting is the reverse flow of gas in the flues of fuel-fired appliances that results in the intrusion of combustion byproducts into the living space. This is a serious issue as it could cause harm or death to the occupants via carbon monoxide poisoning.
