Smoke coming back into your house is often due to poor ventilation or a blockage in the chimney. Common causes include creosote buildup, debris, or animal nests obstructing the flue. It may also result from a closed or partially closed damper, insufficient airflow in tightly sealed homes, or even open windows or doors that disrupt the draft by creating competing air currents. At Texas Family Chimney Care, we can inspect your chimney to diagnose the issue and ensure your fireplace vents safely and efficiently.

While it's not uncommon for chimneys to experience some water intrusion during heavy rain, it shouldn't be considered normal. A leaking chimney may indicate issues such as a damaged or missing chimney cap, deteriorating flashing, or cracks in the masonry. Over time, water can cause significant damage to the chimney and surrounding areas, leading to costly repairs. If you notice leaks during heavy rain, it’s essential to have Texas Family Chimney Care inspect your chimney to identify the source of the leak and recommend the necessary repairs to prevent further damage.

A bad smell coming from your fireplace can be caused by several factors. One common reason is the buildup of creosote, a byproduct of burning wood that can emit a strong, unpleasant odor if it accumulates in the flue. Additionally, if there is moisture in the chimney, it can lead to mold or mildew growth, contributing to a foul smell. Another possible cause is a blockage in the chimney that prevents proper ventilation, causing smoke and odors to back up into your home. Finally, dead animals or debris in the chimney can also create unpleasant odors. If you're experiencing persistent bad smells from your fireplace, it’s important to contact Texas Family Chimney Care for an inspection to identify and address the source of the issue.
