Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does a professional chimney sweep rebuild a firebox?
Firebox is the part of a fireplace where wood is burnt. It is constantly exposed to high temperatures of 800 degrees Fahrenheit. With time, everything fades, and a firebox rebuild is warranted when it has deteriorated beyond repair. With time, a firebox develops cracks or the mortar used to make the firebox begins to disintegrate.

The firebox could always be repaired, but often the damage caused by constant and regular exposure to heat and fire results in critical damage that cannot always be undone. This way, the only way out would be to rebuild a firebox. Rebuilding a firebox would ensure a graceful heated room around the fireplace. But it should always be resorted to as the last option, for rebuilding a firebox is quite an expensive option.

The incumbent firebox is then torn out from the present fireplace and a new one is erected in its stance. This usually takes two days. The new firebox is made with new firebricks and mortar. The mortar is used to seal all minute cracks and openings in the walls of the firebox.

Rebuilding a firebox would mean building the walls, the sides and the floor. This is often a dirty, crude and messy job. Professional chimney sweeps are well acquainted with the nitty-gritty of the task. The cost comes out to be dependant on the size of the firebox being built. The size of the firebox being rebuilt would depend on the size of the original firebox and the size of the room. These factors should be borne in mind by a professional chimney sweep when he is called in to rebuild a firebox.

The task of rebuilding a firebox should never be left to an amateur. It should always be done by a professional chimney sweep. Fireboxes are of a typical shape and have a typical slope. This is to ensure they radiate the most heat. The main function of a fireplace is, after all, to give out heat. Only professional chimney sweeps with some experience in this field could do the job well.

Fireboxes must be built of the appropriate size. Building a large firebox would tend to give a high heat output. This might make the house too hot for comfort if the size of the room and grate is not in proportion. So, a professional chimney sweep would guide you to the correct size that would accommodate all the odd pieces of wood you would find on your woodpile.

Several companies with professional chimney sweeps on their rolls are involved in this work. They could be easily contacted on the details one could get on their websites. This makes the internet the best place to look for help when you have a dirty fireplace and a dirty firebox. Rebuilding it would be a better option if it is beyond repair.

A chimney sweep turns out to be someone who does a lot more than just sweeps and cleans chimneys. He/she helps with some other things like building up a fireplace too.
