In my case, the duct ran straight down the wall from the 2nd floor where
it was exposed in the basement. It's been so long ago that I cannot
remember how I knew my son was dumping stuff in it. I probably removed
the grate and peered down with a flashlight. Others have mentioned
checking for closed dampers. I would imagine that any dampers would be
in exposed areas.
