I had my chimney professionally cleaned in the spring. I just started burning wood and my stove pipes all leak at the seams. Once I get a draft going it stops. When I open the door to add wood the seams start leaking again. Also I am noticing fine soot throughout my house. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome. Sounds like it could be negative pressure. What stove is this? What floor is the stove located on in the house? Can you describe the flue system in detail including the pipe size, connector style (single or double-wall), elbows if any, tee if any, chimney height?
