It’s about time to start using your fireplace again. Did you know you should have your fireplace inspected at least once every year before continued use? Yes, that’s right, this is what the National Fire Protection Association recommends so you can ensure the safety of yourself and your home. Most people think that not much can change with their fireplace and chimney in a year but actually, a lot can change.
Your chimney sits at the highest point of your home and is therefore the most exposed part of your home. This means it has no protection from wind, rain, tornados, and hurricanes. Sometimes your chimney could even have a weak point that would allow leaves and other debris to fall in. This same weak point could also enable an animal to enter your chimney.
After facing weather conditions throughout the year, your chimney will likely need maintenance. This may not always be the case, however, a qualified chimney professional should check your chimney each year to make sure you and your home are in the clear. If you have rusted, broken, or missing chimney parts your chimney becomes a danger to you and your home.
Issues such as these lead to water damage to not only your chimney but also other parts of your home. This means you’ll face mold growth, which causes respiratory issues, and property damage to your ceilings and walls. If these issues are not tended to, the subsequent fire you light in your fireplace could be the one that burns down your house and puts your livelihood in jeopardy.
You don’t have to spend another day with uncertainties about your chimney. Allstar Chimney Sweep Luling is proud to offer same-day availability so you can reclaim your time and safety. Call us today so we can help you restore your confidence in your chimney and the safety of your home.

What Is That Strange Smell?

Strange, pungent smells are hard to ignore. As spring and summer are coming, the warmer the weather becomes. The warmer the weather, then quicker things start to heat up. One place that heats in the summer time and creates a smell is an uncleaned chimney. When there is creosote or soot left behind in the chimney flue then the risk of a smell increases. Both left behind products are flammable. Below are causes and how to remove the unwanted smell.
Odor Causes
There is an assortment of things that cause chimney odors. The most recognized reasons for the smokestack smells are:
- Negative Air Pressure:
- air that moves through your chimney; this brings in fireplace smells and chimney odors
- Excess Creosote & Soot:
- this odor is often described as a heavy smoky smell
- Moisture:
- unless the fireplace is totally closed and protection measures are taken to stop water interruption, smelly scents can overpower the smokestack and home.
- no one wants a smelly home; take care of the smell before it becomes unbearable
- unless the fireplace is totally closed and protection measures are taken to stop water interruption, smelly scents can overpower the smokestack and home.
- Animals (Dead or Alive):
- if you don’t have a chimney cap or if creatures have bitten through the screen on the smokestack top, it is truly conceivable that animals have moved to the fireplace; creatures cause an assortment of odor issues
How to Remove the Fireplace Smell
Now we know what causes the chimney smell, it is an ideal opportunity to fix the issue. It may seem as there is no hope, making the chimney smell new again isn’t excessively troublesome. A chimney inspection and sweep are two great initial steps to any small issue, as it will remove creosote and preclude other normal issues that may have caused the smell. Dried fallen leaves and decaying creature(s) are discovered and removed with a cleaning that eliminates these options as a cause of the smell. Always a smart choice to have a routine scheduled cleaning to ensure there are no dead animals left behind.
In the perfect world, the outside of the smokestack would be waterproof as it could be expected under the circumstances and not permit dampness or moistness into the fireplace shaft. Adding a chimney cap to the fireplace not just forestalls against overabundance dampness in the stack, but it gives a boundary to keep creatures and garbage from falling into the smokestack. Best to have a cap install to lower the amount of moisture trapped inside the chimney.
Other Options to Prevent Foul Chimney Odors:
- Close your fireplace damper
- Get a fireplace door installed
- Get a chimney chase cover
