Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How to reduce a draft from entering your home from the chimney
A chimney is an essential component of people's homes because it provides warmth in places that have cold climates. If the draft is not generated correctly, the chimney faces smoking problems. You're probably living through the smoking issue as best as you can, but do not worry. There are several methods to fix such problems with a chimney. A draft expels smoke to the outside of the house, thus protecting the inside from foul air. When the draft does not work correctly, the products of combustion get inside the house. You can solve this problem in the following manner:

Diagnosing the real issue:
The efficiency of the draft in a chimney is measured with the help of a pressure meter via a probe. You are required to go to the fireplace and move the probe up into the flue. If you find that the reading of the pressure meter is negative, know that the flue is in perfect working order and that the chimney is flawed elsewhere. If the reading of the pressure meter is positive or zero, know that smoke and gas are not being expelled as they are supposed to. In such cases, you should approach a professional chimney sweep to solve your problem.

Avoid using green fuel:
Do you use green wood to fuel your fireplace? If you do, then it is better to stop using it. Green wood generates excessive smoke and causes inadequate draft as well. According to technical experts, burning green or wet wood in the fireplace does not create the necessary amount of heat to generate the push required to remove foul air from the chimney. You may have noticed that when you burn wet wood or green wood, smoke from the fireplace gets inside your room.

Sweep it on right time:
When the cold weather begins, you should approach your chimney sweep for cleaning and sweeping of your chimney. You should not use your chimney unless it has been cleaned. By cleaning the chimney, problems associated with fireplace drafts are avoided and adequate negative pressure is built up to enable dangerous gases and smoke to be expelled. Look for a reputable chimney sweep and let them clean your fireplace for you. If you start using the fireplace without getting cleaning and sweeping done, you will face issues in the middle of winter, when it is very cold.

A few more factors should be kept in mind in order to reduce draft from getting into your house. The damper should be kept open whenever the fireplace is being used. The damper is the mouth of the chimney via which smoke is removed through the flue. If the room in which the fireplace is situated has more vents, then close them before starting the fireplace. In houses with old designs, the rooms are absolutely airtight. If you have an old house as well, then you should keep a window open when using the fireplace. Keeping these small points in mind will ensure that you enjoy the coziness and warmth of your fireplace instead of breathing in gases and smoke.
