Solve Chimney Smoke Problems for a Safer, More Comfortable Home

A properly functioning chimney and fireplace should efficiently vent smoke and gases out of your home. However, smoke problems can occur due to blockages, poor drafting, or structural issues, leading to health hazards and property damage.

DMV Air Duct Cleaning provides specialized services to diagnose and fix chimney smoke problems which result in proper airflow and safety and efficiency. Your home requires attention when smoke enters from a malfunctioning chimney.

Common Causes of Chimney Smoke Problems

✔ Blockages in chimneys caused by creosote accumulation together with animal nests and debris stop proper smoke ventilation.

✔ The house experiences negative air pressure when ventilation levels remain insufficient which draws smoke back inside.

✔ The absence of a chimney cap along with wind downdrafts allows smoke to reenter the house.

✔ The drafting performance suffers when chimney flue dimensions are either too small or too large.

✔ A chimney that remains cold will trap smoke inside the flue instead of allowing it to rise and exit.

✔ The damper cannot function correctly when it is either stuck in place or closed which prevents proper smoke escape.

✔ The efficiency of ventilation suffers when structural damage occurs to the chimney through cracks or deterioration.
