Chimney
cleaning is the removal of dangerous creosote build-up on the inside
of the chimney. These deposits are highly flammable and are the
cause of a great many chimney fires. If you want to know wether or
not your chimney needs to be cleaned you should hire a local chimney
sweep and have a proper 16 point chimney inspection performed. For
those do-it-yourselfer's who have acquired the necessary chimney
cleaning tools and want to inspect and clean their own chimney, below
we have included a step by step explanation.
Let
Brick Repair llc help you with any of your chimney related problems.
Our chimney cleaning, and chimney repair specialist all have years
in the field. We have worked hard to earn a reputation for quality
masonry work and look forward to Michigan that it is well deserved.
Our goal is to leave every customer satisfied and willing to use us
again, or recommend us to a friend. We pride ourselves on building
corners not cutting them.
The
first step in the chimney cleaning and chimney inspection process is
to open the chimney damper and inspect that it is opening and closing
freely. Once you have opened the chimney damper look into the area
above the damper, this is called the chimney smoke shelf. Make sure
the walls of the smoke shelf are free from creosote deposits and do
not have a layer of soot on the interior walls more than a quarter
inch thick. Next go to the top of your chimney and look to see if
there is any creosote build-up on the inside of the chimney flue.
If
you or your chimney sweeping professional have determined that your
chimney is in need of a good cleaning you then want to secure the
opening of the chimney fireplace. Chimney cleaning and the cleaning
of your chimney is not a very difficult process in and of itself.
The need for a chimney cleaning expert and necessity to hire a
chimney sweep comes in ensuring that the job is done in a clean and
neat manner. In order to ensure a neat cleaning of your chimney drop
clothes should be laid in front of the fireplace opening. Once the
damper on the chimney is open and the drop cloths are spread out,
then tape into place a clear plastic sheet over the fireplace opening
to ensure no dust ends up on your flooring or furniture. Once you
have secured the fireplace area you can then begin cleaning your
chimney.
The
next part of the chimney cleaning process is to gather your chimney
cleaning brushes and rods. Carefully move towards the top of the
chimney and make sure that you have a firm footing. If you are
working off of a ladder or scaffold, be sure they are properly set up
and secure. Attach your chimney cleaning brush to your chimney
cleaning rod. Chimney cleaning rods are typically 48 inches and are
made up of flexible composite material.
Insert
your chimney cleaning brush into the opening of the chimney flue
liner and rigorously brush up and down. Once you have cleaned your
first 4 ft. section of the flue liner attach your next chimney
cleaning rod into place and work the brush further down the chimney
flue liner. Continue attaching chimney cleaning rods and rigorously
brushing the inside of the chimney flue to remove creosote deposits
until you have reached the chimney smoke shelf. Once all of the
debris from the chimney flue liners have been knocked down onto the
damper and into the chimney fireplace, use your shop vac to suction
up all of the soot and ash.
Take
the end of your shop vac hose and work it through the damper and into
any ash piles resting on the damper opening, and any other nook and
crannies in the smoke shelf. Take a wire brush and rigorously scrub
the smoke shelf walls. Please note you may not be able to see into
the damper as you are cleaning it. This is where video chimney
inspection or use of a mirror can be quite handy. Once you have
brushed and vacuumed out all of the soot and ash you can then begin
to clean up your work area.
