Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Cold Air and Smoke Entering Living Area through your chimney

There are reasons why cold air and smoke enter the living area through the chimney. This is commonly caused by the chimney that is built outside the structure of the house because the air outside is cold and the flue will cool down quickly causing the smoke and cold air to back draft in the living area. There are houses built this way but it would be costly if you decided to have a structural change. The most inexpensive remedy is to make sure that you have a damper and a glass door that can be closed when the fire is burning low. If you will close the glass door while waiting for the fire to be extinguished, the smoke and cold air will not enter the house and after the fire is fully extinguished or out, that is the only time that you can close the damper.

Chimney height is another cause as well as the size of the chimney. This is fairly easy to remedy compared to the structural design of your chimney because all you need to do if the chimney is too short and did not meet the vertical clearance is to add firebrick until the chimney meets the standard height and clearance while the oversized chimney or too small chimney can be solved by relining the flue. You should hire a chimney professional to check if your chimney meets the standard or required clearance. If cold air and smoke enter the living area, it could be dangerous to the health of the people living inside the house. It can cause health issues like lung problems and having difficulty in breathing as well as carbon monoxide poisoning that will kill a human in less than an hour.

Though winter is still far away, we already have experienced some freezing temperatures. When temperature falls, heating bills go up. But, why is the heating cost so costly: it is due to the chimney or stack effect. Physics of the air pressure states, the effect causes the cold air to fight against warm air in the house. This effect is liable for smoke coming in to your house.

What is this effect all about?

Warm air in your house wants to increase, when outside air gets colder and these differences in temperature can affect inside home pressure. Stack effect will happen when this air pressure on lowest level in the home gets lower, and air pressure at other floors in house gets higher.

How it can affect your chimney or venting system?

Whenever any cold air comes out from your home, balance of the air pressure weakens. The chimney is the main point where this leak happens. By making negative or low pressure, cold air coming in to your house makes stack effect very strong that will force the cold back draft of your chimney cooler than the room temperature. If you light fire in your chimney with backdraft then it can cause the smoke to come in your room.
