How much do you know about your fireplace and chimney? Here are some common words and terms you may have heard but weren’t sure of their meaning.

ASH DUMP: A space beneath the fireplace where ash can be collected and then removed.

BAFFLE: A device that manages the direction of flue gases and can cause fires to burn more efficiently.

BLOWER: A fan inside a fireplace/stove that blows heat into the room.

CARBON MONOXIDE: A toxic gas produced by wood or gas fires, particularly when combustion is incomplete. Carbon monoxide can cause sickness and death.

 

 

CHIMNEY CAP: A full-width component that covers and protects the entire top of the chimney. Both chimney caps and smaller flue covers keep rain, snow, animals and debris out of the flue.

CHIMNEY SWEEP: The name given to the process of cleaning creosote and obstructions out of a chimney flue. It’s also the name for individuals who do this work.

CHIMNEY LINER: Typically made of clay tile, metal or a poured-in-place compound, chimney liners run the length of the flue to protect masonry and provide a smooth, properly sized channel for smoke to move up and away from the home.

CREOSOTE: The byproduct of smoke combustion that can form as a sticky, flakey or solid substance inside the flue. Creosote is highly flammable and should be removed by a trained chimney sweep once a year.

CHIMNEY CROWN: The sloped concrete covering at the top of the chimney designed to protect the flue and masonry from water damage.

DAMPER: Dampers open and close to control the flow of air between the home and the outside environment. Most are installed just above the firebox. Others are placed at the top of the chimney.

DRYER VENT CLEANING: An important service offered by some chimney companies to prevent fires by removing blockages from the vent systems connected with clothes dryers.

FIREBOX: The open compartment in a fireplace or stove where wood and gas fires are created.

FIREPLACE INSERT: A factory-made appliance that goes in the firebox of a masonry fireplace. Inserts can run on gas or wood and are significantly safer and more efficient than standard fireplaces.

FLASHING: The material that seals the gap between the exterior roof and chimney to prevent water from running down into the home. Flashing also is found on roof valleys to channel water.

FLUE: The inner passage inside a chimney used to draft smoke and gasses. Technically not a “chimney” but rather part of it.

MASONRY CHIMNEY: The most common chimney style, built of bricks and mortar. Masonry chimneys are constructed by hand, differentiating them from other types of chimneys that are made in a factory.

MASONRY FIREPLACE: Refers to the “standard” fireplace built into a wall using bricks, stone or other materials.

PELLETS: Small nuggets made of sawdust or other wood refuse that are used by some fireplaces, inserts and stoves.

SMOKE CHAMBER: The area just above the fireplace and smoke shelf and below the bottom of the flue.

SMOKE CHAMBER PARGING: The process of adding a layer of mortar to the chamber to allow smoke to draft more smoothly. Most smoke chambers need this service periodically.

SMOKE SHELF: The area between the smoke chamber and firebox.

SOOT: Powdery carbon particles created during combustion, particularly when the fuel burns only partially.

THROAT: The area just above the firebox into which smoke and gasses enter. Dampers located here are called “throat dampers.”

VIDEO SCAN: Technology used to inspect the inside of the chimney flue and other hard-to-access areas. Chimney sweeps use video scans to detect otherwise unseen flue or liner damage.

An annual chimney inspection is the best way to keep your chimney and fireplace running safely and at peak efficiency all winter long. When performed by a CSIA-certified technician, a chimney inspection covers many areas from the masonry structure to performance issues. Here are some of the key areas of focus during a yearly chimney inspection.

Creosote

If you use a wood-burning fireplace, creosote is added to your chimney flue every time you burn a fire. Creosote can form as a solid, sticky or puffy substance, all of which are highly flammable. Excess creosote is the cause of most chimney fires in the U.S. each year. Chimney inspectors always check the flue to determine how much creosote has built up since the last chimney sweep service.

 

 

Aside from the danger of a chimney fire, creosote and soot can exist in large enough quantities to cause smoke and toxins to draft poorly, putting everyone who lives in your home at risk of smoke and carbon monoxide inhalation.

Different types of flue obstructions

Along with excess creosote, chimney flues can be narrowed by all sorts of obstructions such as the nests of birds, squirrels and other small animals; the animals themselves when they are unable to get out of the chimney after getting in; and tree debris like leaves, twigs, fruit, seeds and more.

These obstructions prevent the natural draft of your fires and can send smoke into the home. Smoke is bad enough, but the carbon monoxide carried within smoke is known to be fatal to humans and animals. This toxic gas is invisible and odorless, so poisoning can happen without anyone realizing it until symptoms begin to develop.

When a chimney inspection turns up excess creosote or other obstructions in the flue, immediate chimney cleaning is recommended. Most chimney inspectors are also certified chimney sweeps and can do this work themselves.

Masonry damage

Another key component of a chimney inspection is checking the masonry for signs of cracking, water damage and general decay. Whenever bricks and mortar are compromised, rain and snow can infiltrate the cracks and expand during freezing weather. This causes further damage and can actually lead to a chimney collapse. Addressing damaged chimney masonry can be as simple as applying a waterproof sealant to prevent water from getting in.

In cases where damage is more extensive, a process known as tuckpointing can be used to add fresh new mortar to areas where old mortar is missing. Various levels of chimney rebuilding may be necessary when damage is significant. Your chimney inspector will tell you exactly what is needed to restore structural safety to your chimney.

Chimney leaks

One of the most common problems homeowners report with their chimneys is a leak. Chimney leaks can be the result of cracking and decay within the masonry or problems with the chimney crown, chimney cap, flashing and other components.

Chimney inspectors will find out where the leak is coming from and encourage you to have the problem repaired before widespread damage occurs – which it will if the leak is ignored.

Chimney component inspection

A certified chimney inspection may also involve a close look at your chimney’s components including:

• Throat damper
• Top-sealing damper
• Smoke chambers/smoke shelf
• Chimney liner
• Full-width chimney cap
• Flue cover
• Chimney chase top
• Chimney crown

It’s the weekend again and our big activity is to take a walk around the neighborhood. People who you never see outside are now cutting the grass, cleaning out the gutters, or even washing windows. At least they are giving me something different to look at.

I will admit, there was a house I walked past slowly.

I was watching a homeowner on top of his roof with (what looked like) a jump rope tied around his waist that was tied around the chimney. Now that it caught my curiosity, I had to continue watching. He had a bucket with a tool in hand. It was a ‘do it yourself’ tuckpointing project on the chimney. Clearly it was an on the job learning experience. He was trying to fill in those gaps in between the bricks. Fortunately, I have a pretty good camera phone and zoomed in. Here’s what I saw:

Whatever patch job he was attempting was going to have to be redone because his didn’t work.

Chimney repairs or masonry work is best done by a Superior Chimney professional. Many of the cracks reappeared in the same location in the mortar. When done professionally, the mortar is:

• Repaired from the inside…out by grinding
• The color will be matched as best as possible to the existing mortar
• The mortar is properly finished for a seamless look.

Once its repaired, get the bricks and mortar coated with a waterproofing agent called Chimney Saver. It prevents water absorption and water penetrating the bricks. If you’ve made the investment in the repair, the one step further will ensure a long-lasting repair and slow down the deterioration process.

So be safe by letting the experienced technicians at Superior Chimney take care of the details. Call us today at ( 877) 244-6349.

It’s getting very hot outside here in Atlanta, Georgia as summer is right around the corner. With the temperature climbing and your AC running, you’ve stopped thinking about your chimney and fireplace. It’s just sitting there, going unused, not bothering anybody…

Now’s the time to use this quick checklist and get your chimney ready for summer.

Summertime is an important time for the maintenance and upkeep on your chimney and fireplace, as keeping them clean and protected now will lead to a successful heating experience in the fall and winter.

Here’s your checklist of things to do with your chimney this summer:

• Clean the hearth

This one may seem like a no-brainer, but a lot of people forget to clean out the ash, sweep, and dust their hearth. You’re going to want to wear gloves and old clothes because this job gets dirty! Scoop out the ashes with an ash shovel. Use a small broom and dustpan to sweep out the rest. Next, you’re going to want to use your favorite gentle cleanser and scrubber to get the creosote up and give everything a final wipe off and vacuum.

• Close the damper tight

A lot of people who have fireplaces forget to close their dampers. This means there is essentially a hole in your house letting cool air out! Be sure to close the damper tight after you’re done using your fireplace for the season.

• Turn off pilot light (gas)

If you’re using a gas fireplace, you should know if you have a standing pilot light and make sure it’s out for the summer.

• Decorate your fireplace!

If that fireplace is just sitting there going unused for many months, you may as well use that space to decorate. For instance, you can place plants around the hearth to bring the green nature of summertime indoors. 

• Call Southern Chimneys to remove creosote

Before giving those hands and knees too much of a workout, you honestly probably won’t be able to get all that creosote out that’s been storing up all winter. Even if you do, you certainly won’t be able to get all up in it. That’s when you need to give a professional chimney service like Southern Chimneys a call.

• Call Southern Chimneys to check or install a chimney cap

It’s always a very wet summer in the southeast. Chimney caps keep out things like moisture and animals that can wind up in your chimney in the summertime.

• Consider making summertime the time for your yearly chimney inspection!
  It’s always smart to get a jump on things and schedule your chimney and fireplace work and inspections long before the weather cools down. 

 

Now’s the time to clean up, decorate, and get things inspected so you can enjoy your living room, clean and safe, all summer long.

If you use your wood-burning fireplace, the chimney is going to collect its fair share of creosote and soot. There’s nothing you can do about that. But there is something you can do about how much buildup is added to the chimney each burning season.

The reason this is important is because creosote is highly flammable and is the cause of most chimney fires each year in the United States. You should schedule annual service from a certified professional to do the bulk of the cleaning, but you also can do your part to help keep your chimney clean between chimney sweep visits.

First thing to know: smoke = creosote

Creosote is formed when wood smoke condenses in a chimney flue. Although the process can be a little scientific, the simple way to see it is: the more smoke, the more creosote.

If you’ve run a fireplace for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that sometimes wood can burn and produce minimal smoke, while other times a huge amount of smoke comes off the fire. Your goal is to burn fires that produce as little smoke as possible. Here are three ways to do it.

Burn only dry (seasoned) wood

Recently harvested logs still contain considerable moisture, which makes considerable smoke when burned. Logs that have been allowed to dry for six months or more will not produce huge amounts of smoke.

Additionally, hardwoods like walnut, oak, sycamore and ash burn hotter and usually aren’t as smoky as softwoods like pine, redwood, juniper and fir.

Ensure a proper draft (air flow)

For wood to burn efficiently, it needs the right amount of oxygen. Air flow is what allows for intense burns with minimal amounts of the wood left unburned and less smoke created in the process.

Elements that will affect how much air gets to your fireplace fires include:

Air-tight house: If little or no air can flow into your home, little or no air flow is going to be available for your fire. If you suspect this is the case, crack a window or two when using the fireplace.

Faulty damper: The damper that sits above the firebox is there to regulate air flow. If it’s rusted or damaged and can’t fully open, you may not be bringing enough air into your firebox. Have the damper inspected and either repaired or replaced.

Obstructed flue: Leaves, twigs and other tree debris along with the nests of squirrels, birds and other small animals can create a major air-flow obstruction inside a chimney. A proper chimney cap will block these obstructions, so if you have no cap, get one installed. To have obstructions cleaned out, make an appointment with a professional chimney sweep.

Never burn anything except actual firewood in your fireplace

While firewood does produce some smoke that leads to the formation of creosote, it doesn’t produce nearly as much as items such as painted wood, pressed board, cardboard, clothing, plastics and paper products.

It is never advisable to use anything other than tree logs as fuel in a wood fireplace, stove or insert. Aside from excess smoke, these materials can produce fumes that are full of dangerous (and possibly deadly) toxins that should not be inhaled by people or pets.

By following these guidelines, you’ll be helping to keep your chimney clean and efficient between visits from your chimney sweep.

Since fireplaces came into fashion, the people who clean the chimneys have been known as chimney sweeps. Many modern professional chimney sweeps perform other important services such as chimney inspection, chimney repair and chimney rebuilding. Let’s look at a few reasons why you might need the services of a trained chimney sweep.

Chimney Leaks

A chimney leak often is the first sign of damage somewhere within the system that could lead to serious deterioration of the chimney masonry or some of its components.

A leaky chimney also can put your home’s building materials at risk. For example, if water is draining down the outside of the chimney and into the house, it can cause damage to insulation, wall boards, rafters, the attic and more.

Common signs of a chimney leak include:

• Dampness or discoloration on the ceiling and walls adjacent to the fireplace
• A rusty damper
• Efflorescence (white staining) on exterior masonry
• Water in the firebox
• Strong, unpleasant odors coming from the firebox

Chimney sweeps can spot the source(s) of the leak and perform any necessary repairs.

Chimney Fire

If you’ve had a chimney fire, the first action you need to take before using the fireplace again is to call a certified chimney sweep for a thorough inspection. Chimney inspections can determine how much damage the fire caused, where the damage is located and what is required to restore the chimney to safety.

One problem with chimney fires is that some of them are of short duration and extinguish on their own. Even still, damage to the flue liner, the chimney masonry or adjacent areas of the home may have happened.

Here are chimney fire signs to watch and listen for:

• Huge amounts of dense, black smoke coming from the firebox or out the top of the chimney
• Odd clicking or ticking noises
• The sound of rumbling like from a distant train

If any of these signs occur, call 911 and extinguish the fire in the fireplace, if you can do it safely.

Smoke is backing up into the home

Drafting problems can be caused by several things:

1. Obstructions in the flue: This can include bird and other small-animal nests as well as leaves, twigs and other tree debris.
2. Large creosote buildup in the flue: After a lot of fireplace use, creosote can build up to the point the flue passage is narrowed and smoke drafts inefficiently.
3. Faulty damper: If your fireplace damper won’t fully open, you may experience smoke and carbon monoxide backing up into your home.
4. House is too air-tight: If your home allows little or no air flow, there won’t be enough air to create a proper draft to lift smoke up into the chimney.
5. Wrong-size chimney: For efficient drafting, your chimney flue must be the right size for the fireplace it’s connected to.  Improperly built/installed chimneys and chimney liners are almost sure to cause air-flow issues.

There are other possible reasons for sluggish drafting, and your CSIA-certified chimney sweep can find them and recommend ways to solve the problem.

Has it been more than a year since your last chimney sweep visit?

If so, now is the right time to call a local chimney expert and schedule a thorough cleaning to remove flammable creosote from your flue.  Annual cleaning and inspection is the best way to keep your chimney safe and efficient.

We’ve covered a few of the jobs that chimney sweeps regularly perform. These trained technicians also can help with any other issues you’re having with your chimney, fireplace or stove.

The post How to Know When to Call a Chimney Sweep appeared first on Fluesbrothers Chimney Service.

While you’re enjoying the warmth of a wood-burning or gas fireplace, the chimney is expelling smoke, toxic fumes, and other organic matter to keep your family safe. When the chimney lacks regular sweeping, many potentially dangerous substances continue to accumulate in the flue that can interfere with its ventilation. It can also affect your health and safety, reduce heating efficiency, and increase chimney repair costs.

Minimize Fire Risk

The combustion process of lighting your wood-burning fireplace, and to some extent, gas fireplaces as well, produces several chemical compounds, including creosote. In its initial stages, creosote is a relatively inert powdery substance that is easily removable with regular chimney sweeping. However, it evolves into a thick, tarry, and highly flammable substance as it continues to accumulate without regular chimney cleanings. Excessive creosote in the chimney is the primary cause of residential structure fires.

Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Without periodic chimney cleaning, the creosote, soot, and other particulates that build up in the flue increases the risk of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) fumes when using the fireplace. Small animals, leaves, and twigs can also obstruct the flue compromising its ventilation. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and even death. More than 4,000 people are hospitalized every year due to carbon monoxide poisoning, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Fire safety experts recommend homeowners install a CO detector on each level of their home.

Reduce Chimney Repair Costs

Some of the combustion gases, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrous dioxide that stick to the flue, are acidic. Unless you clean the chimney, these corrosive gases will not only stain the flue and flue liner but can also cause severe masonry damage resulting in expensive repairs. It can also increase the risk of a chimney fire, which can cause excessive masonry damage and allow the heat to transfer to other combustible materials used in home construction.

Remove Foul Odors

Poor ventilation is not the only factor in an unclean chimney. The decaying organic matter and other compounds in the flue can also cause foul odors. The unpleasant smell that starts in the chimney can permeate through your entire house. Since air fresheners will only temporarily mask the odor, a thorough chimney cleaning is the most effective remedy.

Increase in Heating Efficiency

A flue liner that is covered in soot, ash, creosote, and other material reduces the heating efficiency of the fireplace, which wastes energy. Also, the corrosive gases can cause cracks in clay tile liners, further reducing its efficiency.

Regular chimney sweeping is one way to increase heating efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Chimney Cleaning and Inspection

The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and fire safety experts recommend homeowners with liquid or solid fuel heating appliances have annual chimney cleanings and inspections. Hiring a qualified chimney sweep is an economical and convenient way to ensure your chimney, fireplace, and other heating appliances are safe to operate.

The post 5 Reasons Why Sweeping Your Chimney Is Important appeared first on Fluesbrothers Chimney Service.

Long Maryland winters mean a lot of fireplace use for many people. After months of running your fireplace, it’s not uncommon for minor damage to have occurred as well as the accumulation of excess creosote and soot. Let’s look at some of the reasons that chimneys become damaged and dirty over the winter.

Creosote and Soot

Wood-burning fireplaces create a creosote every time a fire burns. A byproduct of the combustion process, creosote can be flakey, puffy or solid, but in all forms it’s highly flammable. Both creosote and soot in sufficient amounts can ignite and start a chimney fire. Each substance needs to be cleaned out of your chimney once a year by a certified, professional chimney sweep.

Chimney cleaning not only addresses the creosote issue, it addresses any obstructive debris (leaves, twigs, nests of small animals, etc.) that may be hindering efficient smoke-drafting.

Masonry Issues

A thorough chimney inspection at the end of each burning season is a smart move, because severe winter weather and the intense heat from fires can cause various levels of masonry damage. Cracks in mortar joints often lead to serious structural compromise when water moves into the cracks, freezes and expands.

Masonry also can be affected by a cracked or broken chimney liner, which allows corrosive gases to regularly contact internal bricks and mortar. A damaged chimney cap and warped or missing flashing can put chimney masonry at risk for decay. By having your chimney inspected once a year, you can spot early signs of masonry problems and get them fixed before more serious damage occurs.

Chimney Crown Damage

The cement crown at the top of your chimney is prone to cracking, which will lead to the same kind of problems as when bricks and mortar crack. Infiltrating water can cause chimney crowns to deteriorate, especially when the temperatures outside cause the water to freeze and expand, breaking apart the cement. When caught in time, minor chimney crown damage often can be resolved by waterproofing. When severe damage is present, the crown may have to be rebuilt.

Leaky Chimney

After a hard winter, homeowners sometimes notice signs of a leaky chimney. If your chimney is leaking but you don’t know exactly why, schedule an inspection from a CSIA-certified technician. Fixing a leaky chimney isn’t always a complicated job, but the first step must be determining what’s causing the leak and how extensive it is.

Signs of a chimney leak include:

• Water on surfaces inside the firebox
• Unpleasant odors coming from the fireplace
• Efflorescence (white stains) on exterior chimney masonry
• Damp patches and/or discoloration on walls or the ceiling near the chimney
• A fireplace damper that squeaks and won’t open and close properly

Start with a Chimney Inspection

After a busy burning season, your chimney and fireplace may have sustained damage that you aren’t able to see and evaluate. It’s always best to let chimney service experts take a look at your chimney system once a year and then give you recommendations on what kind of chimney repair work is needed to restore safe and efficient operation.

The post How Chimney’s Become Damaged and Dirty Over the Winter appeared first on Highs Chimney.

Winters are hard on chimneys, often leaving them with damage that could lead to serious problems if not addressed. For this reason, the best decision you can make for your chimney is to have it professionally inspected after the winter burning season so that any needed repairs can be made well in advance of the next winter.

Here are some of the common ways chimneys can be damaged by winter weather.

Chimney Masonry Damage

Intense cold weather can wreak havoc with chimney masonry. When mortar joints crack because of old age, lightning strikes, pounding hail or for other reasons, water can get into the cracks and start a cycle of deterioration. Freezing water expands, pushing outward against the mortar and causing internal damage. A lot of loose bricks and large sections of crumbling mortar make a chimney unsafe to use or live around.

 

 

 

Chimneys also can suffer damage from the inside, when there are breaks or cracks in the chimney liner. In this case, harmful combustion gases can lead to brick and mortar deterioration that the average homeowner won’t be able to spot. A cracked chimney crown (see below), a damaged or missing chimney cap and warped or damaged roof flashing are other ways chimney masonry can be compromised during a long winter. All masonry issues are best addressed by a CSIA-certified chimney inspector.

Damage to the Chimney Crown

When your cement chimney crown begins to crack, water can move in and do the same kind of damage it does to bricks and mortar. Crowns are built at the top of chimneys to protect the bricks below them and the internal flue spaces outside the flue pipes. If only minor cracking is present, the crown often can be waterproofed to avoid further decay. Severely cracked chimney crowns usually need to be rebuilt.

Issues with Leaky Chimneys

Chimney leaks can be caused by masonry damage, crown damage, a compromised or missing chimney cap, warped flashing and more. Most homeowners can spot certain signs of a leaky chimney, but few individuals can easily determine where the leak is coming from and the extent of the damage that’s causing it. If you have any of the following chimney leak symptoms, schedule a chimney inspection prior to using the fireplace again.

• Strong, musty odor coming from the fireplace
• Water on the floor and walls of the firebox
• White discoloration on the exterior chimney masonry
• A damper that can’t be fully opened or closed
• Wetness on sections of walls or the ceiling adjacent to the fireplace

Creosote and Soot

Excess creosote and soot that forms after a long burning season can damage your chimney and lead to a chimney fire. Creosote can be sticky, solid, puffy or flakey and is unavoidable if you use a wood-burning fireplace. Highly flammable, creosote is the cause of most chimney fires in the U.S. each year.

A professional chimney sweep uses electronic brushes and cleaning rods, scrubbers, solvents, vacuums and other equipment to dislodge and remove creosote and soot from chimneys. Sweeps also remove tree debris, small-animal nests and other obstructions that could cause smoke and deadly carbon monoxide to back up into your home.

Schedule a Chimney Inspection

When winter is over, it’s time to have your chimney inspected. With annual inspections, you’ll be able to quickly uncover damage to the chimney structure and its components and get the problems repaired before significant (and expensive) damage occurs.
