Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Odor in Home from Chimney
It's quite possible to smell awful smoky odor in your home if you're using a chimney. This can occur at any time whether the chimney is swept or not. There are always remnants of creosote and soot in the system even after a thorough chimney sweeping process has been carried out. Hence, you might notice unusual odor in the house from time to time.

There may also be other possible causes of the odor as well. You can smell the odor greatly during chimney cleaning process. You can also smell the order for some time after the cleaning process.

You can smell odor from the chimney when water starts seeping into the system. This can generate awful odor in the house. To curtail the odor you need to take necessary steps towards stopping the seeping of water into the chimney.

Again, odor can filter in through the chimney during warmer months. The change in the air pressure can lead to awful odor which will ooze out from the chimney. You can also smell odor from the chimney when it's newly installed, repaired or rebuilt.

Whichever is the cause of the bad odor from the chimney, you can always take the following steps to deal with it.

  • Make sure you carry out necessary repairs if you notice that some of the chimney parts are bad.
  • Make sure the chimney is thorough swept by a professional. You can also carry out a thorough chimney cleaning process if you have the time and energy.
  • Always close the fire damper when the chimney is not in use.
  • You can install a glass fire screen to prevent warm air from oozing out when there is fire in the chimney.
  • You can use a good sealing damper to cover the top of the chimney when you notice cracks on it.
  • If the weather is cold, you can create resistance to the airflow down the chimney. This will help other air pathways to generate less resistance in order to equalize the air pressure in and outside the house.
If you try engaging the tips outlined above, you can be sure of curtailing the level of the bad odor in the house. However, you can take further steps if the odor continues to filter in greatly. All you need to do is to engage a Chimney expert dealer.

You can look out for a firm that repairs, cleans, and rebuild chimney. The experts will take out time to discover the root cause of the bad odor. They can spend some time to clean the chimney thoroughly. They can also carry out necessary repairs and also replace worn out parts. They can as well rebuild the entire fireplace where necessary. All you need is to spend a few cash to make sure the bad odor is cleared off from the house.
