Negative Air Pressure
Air that moves through the chimney 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.
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
Where Is That Odor Coming From?
Imagine you and your family are sitting in the living room watching movies on the television above the fireplace and mantel. Next thing you know, there is a strange smell appears in the air. Little does anyone know that it is coming from the fireplace? Odds are that your home has Stinky Fireplace Syndrome. This scent normally is worse in the late spring when the moisture/humidity is high and the climate control system is turned on. This smell can linger in a home. It may appear that all hope is lost, well there is a solution. Before we dive into that, let’s discuss some causes of the chimney odor.
Dangers of Pouring Water Into Your Fireplace
When we need to put out a fire, we know our go-to options are usually to let it burn out or to pour water on it. But while pouring water on a fire might work when you’re camping, pouring it in your fireplace is not the best option. Pouring water on a fireplace can cause damage. Many materials used in your fireplace and chimney (such as masonry and steel) are water-sensitive and can become damaged when they absorb water.
This causes weakness and rust in the chimney which can be expensive to fix. Also, when water mixes with creosote, a chemical commonly found in chimneys, it makes a strong smell that will spread throughout your home. it can interrupt the ventilation and can push all of the smoke back into your home. Vapors that are supposed to go out of the chimney instead stay inside for you to breathe. Inhaling smoke can cause breathing problems, dizziness, and even long-term health issues after enough exposure.
Carbon monoxide is also released from wood-burning fires which can be poisonous in large quantities. Worst of all your chimney can potentially explode from the steam produced. So no you should never put a fireplace fire out with water.
