Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

ANATOMY OF A CHIMNEY

If you think that the chimney is just an ordinary part of a house, think again. In fact, it is one of the most complicated parts of the house aside from the bathroom and the kitchen because of its anatomy. Each part plays an important role and needs to be hazard-free for the safety of the people living inside the house. The chimney is the sister of the fireplace. They should always work together and without the other, one cannot function alone.

The first part of the chimney that you need to know is the chimney crown. This part is the protector of the other parts and should not be damaged in any way. The position of the crown should be sloped to avoid water from entering the chimney. If water will enter the chimney, it would cause the chimney's bricks to be brittle and could cause cracking in the liner. If you want to save money for the maintenance, then make sure that the chimney crown is perfect.

The flue is the simplest part of the chimney since this is where the gases pass while a flue lining should be present to make sure that the flue is safe. The lining should be made of stainless steel or clay tile. The flue and the flue lining are the parts that carry the smoke up and outside the chimney, without them the smoke will be stuck and cannot be sucked upward. The smoke chamber is the compressor of the smoke to avoid it from spreading inside the house. Imagine if there is no smoke chamber, we will be poisoned by the carbon monoxide or be choked by smoke. The shape of the smoke chamber should be wide at the base and smaller at the upper part. It looks like an inverted funnel that is connected to the flue.

The next part is the chimney damper that needs to be closed if we are not going to use the fireplace. It saves energy. This is found inside the chimney and it can be a pulley or a lever activated door. We should not forget to close it especially if we do not want animals to enter our house through the chimney if the chimney cap did not work.

The last part of the chimney is the smoke shelf which is located behind the chimney damper. The smoke shelf should be flat because its function is to catch falling objects from above like a debris or any water caused by rain or storm. It also helps compress large volumes of smoke. You should be familiar with the anatomy of a chimney so you can make sure that you have a system you can monitor because chimneys do require maintenance. If you are aware of the parts and their functions, it will be easier to clean and preserve it. Do not forget to take help of a professional chimney sweep to keep your chimney in good health.
