Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Improper Usage and Care of a Masonry Fireplace
Improper use of a fireplace is hazardous to the owner itself. These include improper installation of a fireplace in the first place which includes inadequate clearance from any combustible surfaces. Clearances include furniture, floors, and walls. Another improper use is neglecting annual inspection of the fireplace thus exposing the fireplace to cracks and vents that may develop over time. The chimneys installed with inadequate capacity, without proper height, and improper location are also used improperly. Improper mechanical safety can also be another factor hindering proper usage of the fireplace. The type of wood selected can also affect a proper operation of a fireplace. A fireplace requires regular maintenance and proper cleaning each year.

Cleaning of the chimney to remove creosote deposits, removing of ashes also come under maintenance factors of a fireplace. If you fail to implement these factors, it will result in improper usage of a fireplace. Chimney is often taken for granted units of the home. Generally it tends to get neither attention nor concern generally accorded household service systems. Fact that the chimneys might do the job reasonably well, when abused and neglected, contributes at the atmosphere of indifference. The chimneys are very far from passive black holes, which many people assume it to be. They will perform many important functions, and simple appearance misrepresents the complex construction as well as performance needs. The regular chimney maintenance and care is important to prevent any damage, deterioration or future cost of chimney repairs.

Masonry Chimneys

The masonry chimney is made of various metal and masonry materials, which includes mortar, brick, concrete block, concrete, flue tile, stone, cast iron and steel. All the masonry chimneys have combinations of, and possibly all of, materials, and most of that are highly affected by the direct contact with water penetration.

Penetration

All the chimney construction materials, other than stone, may suffer the accelerated deterioration because of the prolonged contact with the water. The masonry materials will deteriorate fast when it is exposed to freeze and thaw process, where moisture has penetrated materials periodically freezes as well as expands causing the undue stress. And water in chimney causes rust in cast iron and steel, destroying and weakening metal parts. Whereas most of the stone isn't affected by the water penetration, huge amounts of the mortar are needed to bond stone together rightly. Thus, stone chimney –like brick chimney –must get protected from effects of the water penetration. The water penetration will cause interior & exterior damage to the home or masonry chimney that includes:
  • Deteriorated metal and masonry firebox assemblies
  • Rusted damper assemblies
  • Rotting adjacent wood & ruined wall coverings
  • Rusted fireplace glass doors and accessories
  • Clogged cleanout area
  • Water stained walls & ceiling
  • Stained chimney exterior
  • Deteriorated heating system
  • Cracked and deteriorated lining system
  • Decayed exterior mortar
  • Tilted and collapsed chimney structure
  • Chimney settlement
  • Collapsed hearth support
