Over 38 Years of Fireplace Troubleshooting Experience
One of the most annoying and common problems that our pros at A Clean Sweep LLC in Greeley, CO encounter daily is backdrafting. It is difficult to determine the cause of backdrafting and therefore needs cooperation of both the sweep and the homeowner. If the homeowner is not able to analyze the symptoms, our team at A Clean Sweep LLC will stop by and light a fire in the fireplace or appliance and observe the backdrafting to determine the cause.
Effective Solutions for Backdrafting Problems
- Open a window or turn off any mechanical fans and check whether the damper is open while the fire is burning.
- Have the chimney construction checked.
- Analyze the chimney height along with the termination height; extend the chimney.
- Install an outside air supply for the fireplace to initiate weatherization of the house.
- Identify and remove obstructions, blockages (like leaves and pine needles), and creosote buildup from the chimney.
- Extend the chimney above the turbulence or the high-pressure zone if there is unusual high pressure at the top of the flue.
Our team has many years of experience and has seen every potential issue a customer can have. Whether it’s backdrafting, flue issues, damper problems, or just a whole new overhaul to get your chimney up to code, we can do it.
