August in Plano and your living room smells like a wet ashtray.
That is creosote soaking up humidity while your AC pulls air down the flue and pushes the smell into the house. Candles and plug-ins just cover it. A proper chimney sweep takes out the creosote that is causing it, and if the draft is reversing we look at the damper seal and cap to stop the downdraft.
Give us a call at (214) 301-0414 and we will get it sorted before you ever think about a fire.
