Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

I Just Purchased a New Home, What Kind of Maintenance/Inspection Does My Chimney Need?

Well, you have purchased a new home and you are asking about the maintenance and inspection that your chimney needs. That means the chimney is already installed and might have been used by the previous homeowner. It also suggests that it's an old chimney and you are going to use it for the first time. Well, it's always better to inspect the chimney before you start using it. As this is an old one and you really don't know since when it is working, you should first call up a professional chimney sweep to complete the inspection work.
  • A professional chimney sweep will start the inspection usually from the cap of the chimney that remains at the top of it. If there is no cap, then you have to install one first.
  • The sealing area and the crown area also need to be inspected properly to see whether or not cracks are there. If there are cracks then they should be repaired.
  • If the chimney has a liner inside, then it should be inspected to find out whether or not it is in a working condition. If there are cracks in it, then water can leak during the rainy days. So, that needs to be fixed or replaced.
  • The mortar joints of the chimney also need to be inspected and if there are cracks in the joints, then quality cement needs to be applied to fill the gaps.
  • With the old chimneys creosote can be there and that needs to be cleaned with a proper chimney brush.
Most homeowners do not think about the maintenance of masonry chimney beyond occasional cleaning of flue. However, ignoring the chimney will cost you very big time. The cracked chimney crown and spalling bricks will easily cost around $1,000 on repair. And, left untreated, damage will accelerate very fast, and cost around $3,000. It does not need to be in that way. By sealing bricks and crown and adding the chimney cap, you will highly extend the chimney's life. Materials cost below $300, and you may complete all the procedures in some hours. You would pay professional more in doing all of them, so savings is vast. You will need to climb on the roof twice. And, you should safely reach chimney crown from the roof. Suppose you cannot reach chimney crown, have the steep roof or call the professional. Suppose you decide you may handle heights, ensure you wear safety harness. The masonry chimneys are been capped with mortar "crown" in order to prevent the water from going behind bricks and the flue, and in your house. With time, the normal expansion and contraction cycles will cause the cracks to form. Sealing chimney crown with the crown sealer, flexible elastomeric coating, can be one best way to immediately stop cracks from spreading as well as prevent the new ones to take place.
