Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does a professional chimney sweep eliminate smoke entering your living area when a fire is lite?
A fireplace is a comfortable place in your house. If you find a lot of smoke in the living room, it can be very annoying. Usually, chimneys are located close to the living room. Thus, you should prevent smoke from getting into your living room. Not only is it annoying, but it is also bad for health. U.S. forest fire standards state that a professional chimney sweep should be enlisted at least once annually to make sure that your chimney is working properly. There are many dimensions to the issue of smoke coming from a chimney. So, there could be many causes of smoking in a chimney. A professional will carefully check to identify the reason for the smoking issue. In the following paragraphs, I will describe the most common reasons for smoking and how a professional solves these issues.

Improper draft
A properly-working chimney is dependent on proper draft. Usually, smoking issues happen because there is incorrect draft. In technical terms, the ideal draft will not cause smoking because it will remove the exhausted gas as smoke and take in oxygen. There are many reasons for insufficient draft to occur such as inadequate combustible material, bad-quality combustible material, and blockage of the flue of the chimney. A professional will ensure that draft generated in the chimney is adequate for the chimney to work properly. If the draft generated is weak, the professional will need to take steps to solve the problem. br>
Inspecting chimney flue and chimney cap
The professional will also assess the amount of creosote, stain, or soot present in the chimney flue. Soot is generated when there is incomplete burning of organic material, whereas creosote is generated when wood is burned. If there is sufficient creosote or soot, smoke flowing inside the flue gets blocked and cannot get out. Thus, it flows backward and comes out through the living room. Thus, a professional will clean the chimney flue to prevent blockage. A chimney cap is an important component of a chimney and it can help eliminate the problem of smoking. The professional will ensure that the condition of the chimney cap is good and allows the flow of air smoothly. If the chimney cap is damaged, it will be repaired.

Environment:
If all the components of the chimney are fine, then the problem has happened due to the surroundings. The air outside the chimney should be cold and the weather should not be windy. In places that see a hot summer season, a special kind of chimney cap is required. br>
A good chimney cap should keep the air outside and inside the chimney separate. It may not be possible to separate the inner air from the air outside totally, but a good design almost achieves this isolation. Windy areas pose a great difficulty to chimney caps and the working of a good chimney. Thus, the professional will advise you to protect your chimney cap from strong winds. Most chimney caps get damaged due to heavy winds and need to be replaced.
