Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does a professional chimney sweep fix a cracked chimney pot?
Chimney pots may be constructed of either terracotta or clay. Clay pots are usually preferred by most people due to their pleasant and attractive color. However, there are several other factors behind the preference for clay chimney pots. We describe these reasons briefly in the following paragraphs. Clay pots are tolerant to fire, dust, natural wear and tear, and are not harmed by caustic chemicals. It may have been observed that clay pots have more benefits than that of metal. However, metals have one overarching advantage—they are stronger than clay pots. Thus, cracks are seen to appear more often in clay pots as compared to metal pots. Professional masons can fix chimney pots with ease, thus expensive replacements are not required.

Assessing the chimney pot
Prior to beginning work, the professional will generally evaluate the chimney pot to find out how much damage has occurred. If the damage is not too much, then he or she will repair it. Otherwise, they will suggest that you get a new chimney pot. In some cases, the mortar is also in poor condition. Here, professionals will repoint the mortar before repairing the pot. We now delve into the details of our topic and learn how a professional will repair a cracked chimney pot:

Removing all the debris
The professional will don a pair of gloves and a mask before getting to work. He or she will clear away the dust and rubble on the chimney pot with the help of a line brush or a wet scrub brush. Next, they will clean the pot with lukewarm water and then allow it to dry for an hour.

Applying silicone or glue
Glue or silicone is needed to fill the cracks in the chimney pot. Professionals will apply glue or silicone delicately so that further damage of chimney pot is prevented. They also take extra care to not damage any valuable design in the chimney pot. Professionals will choose the type of glue based on the value of the chimney pot because some cheap glue may leave a mark on the valuable chimney pot work. If there are more cracks in the pot, professionals will place clampers to hold the pieces of pot together until the adhesive has been dried. By following the above method, professionals can a fix a completely broken pot too. They do wait for certain time to let the glue dry. They will finally remove all the excess adhesive by the help of blade. In order to fill in the cracks in a chimney pot, silicone or glue is used. It is applied gently and with the utmost care by professionals to avoid any more damage. These professionals also ensure that the existing design of the chimney pot is not harmed. On the basis of the quality and value of the chimney pot, professionals will select the kind of glue suitable for fixing it. Inexpensive glues may damage or disfigure work done on chimney pots. When there are too many cracks in the pot, clampers are used to keep the various parts of the pot together until the glue has dried. Thus, a totally broken chimney pot can also be repaired by this method. A certain amount of time is allowed before the glue dries. Lastly, the excess glue is removed using a blade.

Final touch
Chimney pots made of clay are works of art and the goal behind repairing them is to restore them to their former glory. Professionals attempt to gently remove any extra glue from the chimney pot in order to make the surface smooth. Next, the pot is painted as per its original color. To ensure that the surface remains smooth, a second coat of paint is layered over the first. All the skills of the professional are put to the test when he or she is called to repair a broken chimney pot.
