Stinky Chimney Syndrome

Summertime, summertime, summertime! Boy, do we love the sun. Everything is green, the air is filled with the scent of neighborhood blooms and newly cut grass, and the outdoor lakes and pools are finally the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip. But for many Middle Tennessee homeowners, there’s something else that may be in dire need of refreshing: your chimney.

That’s right: this time of year, more than any other, those oh-so-unpleasant odors tend to emanate from many greater Nashville chimneys and fireplaces. The high temperatures of the season can form an incubator to coax those disturbing aromas into prominence. Pretty soon they are dancing out of your fireplace and making themselves comfortable in your home.

At All Year Chimney Sweeps & Repairs, we want you to know that you don’t have to struggle anymore with commercially available powders and sprays that don’t work, and at best, could only serve to cover up a potentially serious issue. We’ve labeled it, simply, “Stinky Chimney Syndrome”, but in truth, it can often be far more serious than the discomfort of daily life with a foul smelling fireplace.

That’s why it’s important to get professional help. Our trained, licensed professionals will examine your chimney and fireplace to pinpoint the exact source of the odor. Causes generally range between an accumulation of creosote deposits, to the presence of mold and mildew growth, and even birds and animals who’ve chosen your chimney for a home - living or deceased. Between dangerous gases, mold spores, and airborne transmission of diseases from infected wildlife, dealing with a stinky chimney swiftly and seriously is key. Your family’s health may very likely be at risk.

Depending upon the diagnosis of the origin of the odor, our All Year Chimney Sweeps & Repair technicians will create a treatment plan to resolve the issue. We will return your chimney, fireplace, and living space to a place of safe, optimum health, free of any harmful contaminants that would affect your family’s health. We will also completely eradicate the source of the chimney odor itself, as well as any lingering scent.

Isn’t it time to turn your losing battle with smelly chimney odor into a win for your family’s health and comfort? For more information about how to snuff out “Stinky Chimney Syndrome”, call All Year Chimney Sweeps & Repair at (615) 285-9118 today! We look forward to serving you.
