Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Chimney drafting
There is need to know how the chimneys work so that when it comes to fixing, it might not bring a big hassle. There is much complexity especially when it comes to how the chimneys work. It is necessary for the homeowner to understand the meaning of a draft.

Chimney drafting is simply the way in which the fireplace uses the products within the chimney and to the exterior atmosphere. There are some drafting problems which can end up making the combustion products to come back in your home and lead to unpleasant smell and conditions within your home. In this case, the draft has to be in the right working manner in order to enable the harmful smoke to get out through the flue of the chimney. There are many problems that can happen to the drafts and the best thing is to identify the manner in which the chimney works.

The working concept of chimneys
Well, the idea is that hot air is lighter and will always rise. The area beneath is usually filled by cool air which enables the hot air to maintain the ascent within the chimney flue and the surrounding environment. This process has to be constant as it enables the combining combustion products to get out of the chimney at the same time; there is no gas which escapes into the room area.

The firebox does not need to be 1 inch from the rear wall of the chimney as this will permit the gases to be near the firebox and force the gas back in the hem again. There is a need for a fire grate just incase you need sufficient oxygen in your home compound.

The model of the chimney
It matters a lot. Most of the draft problems start with the design of the chimney. For instance, when the chimney is too shallow, chances are smoke will get back in your room and there will be no space to let it out. There are times when creosote can also become a menace when it builds up on the chimney caps with time and this becomes a dra
