Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does a professional chimney sweep get rid of bad odors from your fireplace?
Bad odor can occur due to various reason. Solution to get rid of bad odor depends on the cause of the odor. Bad odor is one of the common problem encountered by the chimney users. In summer, bad odor could turn deadly. Irrespective of the cause of the bad odor, poor draft usually play a crucial role in the bad odor. If you got a perfect draft in your chimney, bad odor will be drifted away from the chimney along with the exhaust gas. Hence, it is necessary to keep an eye on the draft of the draft of your chimney.

Major causes of bad odor and how does a professional chimney sweep helps you in each of the above cases?

1. Backdraft

Chimney works due to the pressure difference between the inner and outer gas. Due to various reasons such as blockage of the chimney flue, insufficient combustible material and improper ventilation of the home, backdraft can occur. Normal draft absorbs only oxygen and expels exhaust gas, smokes and flames along with the bad odour while back draft absorbs all gases surrounding the building along with some nasty odour. Backdraft could absorb deadly gases inside your home. So professional would take this problem very seriously. Professional could suggest air tight dampers that prevents backdraft when the chimney is not in use. He may also suggest using dry wood that produces more heat with less temperature or he may suggest insulating the damper from the windy air.

2. Moisture and rainwater

Moisture is not healthy for the chimney. Without chimney cap, rainwater will enter your chimney through the chimney flue. Rainwater are known to cause musty odour and it will also speedup the process of rusting. Professional will suggest the installation of stainless steel based chimney cap, as the chimney cap made up of ordinary iron are subject to rusting.

3. Dead animals and leaves

If your chimney is not used for a long time, there are more chances that an animal could have used it for building their nests. Small animals may not be able to leave the chimney flue, once they entered in to. So they will die of naturally soon. As soon as the animals are died, natural decomposition begins, which is the real reason for the bad odour. Animals should have to be removed immediately and professional chimney sweeper may help you in this case. Autumn leaves may also be the reason for bad smell and it could be removed by cleaning the chimney flue.

4. Creosote and soot

Creosote is the by-product produced in the combustion of the wood. Creosote produces bad odour and it worsens during the summer. Hence, chimney flues should be cleaned regularly to ensure the removal of creosote and other soot which could produce bad odour. Professional may suggest dried woods for combustion, as they produces less creosote and soot. Soot could also be reduced, if proper draft is maintained. Professional can help you in maintaining proper draft.
