Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Different parts of the chimney and how they work
What comes in mind first when someone hears about chimney is the comfort, heat and warmth and these are the things that the chimney was meant to be used for. Your chimney like any other thing in your home, it has to be given the right care if you want to get what you are looking for while at the same time ensuring the safety of the people who live in your home. It is important for every homeowner to know the basic parts of the chimney and how they work in order to be able to assess or to address the problems when they arise.

The Chimney can look perfect at the outside but some unwanted or hazardous problems can take place inside such as creosote, soot and mold build up and the blockage. There are some of the most important parts that you should pay the attention to. You have first to learn about the chimney cap and chimney crown which are known as the first line of the defense for the chimney. They protect the chimney against any type of the blockage while they prevent the water against seeping into the chimney.

The flue together with the flue liner has to be in the best condition. It is the place where harmful gases and smoke made by the combustion have to pass. They also prevent the cases of flammable debris to gather. However, you have also to take care of the creosote that may build up into the walls of the flue.

The chamber of the smoke is also an important part. It is the part that you can find over the fireplace but below the flue. All the byproducts are compressed in this place and they prevent the draft against taking place and it prevents the smoke against escaping within the flue. Another part of the chimney is the chimney damper. This is the place where the energy is being regulated after using the wood stove or fireplace. It closes the chimney so that the heated air may not be lost within the chimney.

It is important also to know what may block your chimney. Creosote is a byproduct produced by burning the woods. It builds up on the flue sides and on the firebox place. After a long time, the buildup may lead to the blockage and this will result into the whole house fire or flue fires. It is important to clean the flue regularly to reduce the cases of fire. Raccoons, squirrels and birds are also some type of the animals that can lead to chimney blockage. They can also cause the smell, noise or fires in the home. To prevent this from happening, you should have chimney caps that have spark arrestors. Debris and leaves also may build up in the chimney and they may clog them. When the chimney has been clogged, it will prevent the combustible gas and the smoke to go outside. This may lead to fire and health risks.
