Can I clean my smoke shelf myself?

• <div><p>You may be able to clean your smoke shelf yourself, though it depends on whether you can reach the shelf with the tools you have. If you cannot see through the chimney damper to the shelf, it’s better to rely on a professional chimney specialist. It’s also wise to get a professional if you see creosote buildup, which is typically hard, shiny, and sometimes sticky. A pro has the correct tools and safety equipment to properly clean out the chimney.</p></div>

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.

If air ducts aren’t regularly cleaned and maintained, your HVAC system will circulate dirty air through your home, affecting the air you breathe. Also, trapped moisture can lead to mildew and mold growth, particularly in regions with high humidity.

There are a few reasons your AC is running but not cooling your room. Thermostat issues and dust and debris, which can clog your system, are common problems. It could also be a broken component, such as a compressor, blower fan, or evaporator coils. You’ll need to call a pro to diagnose the issue.

You may be able to clean your smoke shelf yourself, though it depends on whether you can reach the shelf with the tools you have. If you cannot see through the chimney damper to the shelf, it’s better to rely on a professional chimney specialist. It’s also wise to get a professional if you see creosote buildup, which is typically hard, shiny, and sometimes sticky. A pro has the correct tools and safety equipment to properly clean out the chimney.

Mold in air ducts releases spores into the air, which cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, or itchy eyes. Prolonged mold exposure can lead to more serious health issues, especially for those with compromised immune systems.
