Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How to Identify the Type of Chimney You Have
It's always very important to know the type of chimney you have in the house. This is often necessary when thinking of repairing the system. You also need the information when there's a need to clean up the chimney or buy replacement part for it. It's never a herculean task to identify the type of chimney you have.

Before you can actually identify the exact type of chimney you're using, you need to understand the basic different types that are widely used. Actually there are 3 basic types of chimneys in use. Let's examine them:

Masonry Chimney
This one is made of brick, mortar, and concrete.

Prefab Chimney
This one is factory fitted and it's always installed as a single unit. Prefab chimneys showcase in diverse kinds. For instance, there is the Pre-fabricated chimney that comes with Isokern. It often resembles a typical masonry chimney.

Hybrid Chimney
This one comes with a masonry substructure. It also has smoke chamber and a firebox. It may also come with a high temperature pipe built with a steel stud border.

Having seen the 3 basic types of chimney, you can then think of how you can identify the type you have. Here are pointers that will help you out:
  • If your chimney comes with real bricks in its firebox, it simply means, you're having a typical Masonry type.
  • You can also discover the type of chimney you're having by taking a look at its top section. If you're able to notice a clay-like square, you're simply having a Masonry chimney. If you can also see the oval pipe shooting out on the top section of the chimney stack, you're still having the Masonry type.
  • If you notice a unique metal pipe that has a protruding cap on its top, you're simply having a Prefab chimney.
  • If the firebox comes with a metal box, you're also having a Prefab chimney.
  • If the firebox is made of brick and mortar but has a unique metal pipe that shoots out at the upper region, you're likely having a Hybrid chimney.
That's all you need to know. You really need to examine your chimney to get the exact picture. You can always determine the type you're having when you play close attention.

If you're able to determine the type of chimney you have, it will be easy for you to carry out a cleaning process on the system. Each type of chimney requires specific method of cleaning. You can do the cleaning by yourself if you've got enough time and energy. All you need is to follow a detailed DIY chimney cleaning guide. You can also save yourself the troubles by engaging a professional chimney cleaner to help you out.
