Do you have a chimney in your house? Chimneys can be an important part of a home. Some are connected to a fireplace in the living room or some are connected to the kitchen. In addition to using it, of course, you also have to understand how to clean it. Blocked chimneys can cause quite troublesome problems. Lighting a fire in a chimney will cause accumulation of soot and creosote fluid. Creosote liquid is a sticky and flammable substance that can cause chimneys to burn if not diligently cleaned. If you want to clean it yourself, you can buy a chimney sweep cleaning at a household supply store. But, If you want to be safe it’s probably better to hire a professional for the chimney cleaning.
Why is chimney cleaning so important?
As explained above, chimneys that are rarely cleaned can be clogged by creosote and cause a high potential for chimney fires. To prevent fires, regular chimney cleaning is very important. Besides, if your chimney is clean of creosote and soot, the chimney can work more optimally. As additional information, different woods differ in the amount of creosote produced. Avoid using wood species that produce piles of creosote, such as pine.
How often do we have to clean the chimney?
Homeowners are advised to carry out annual chimney inspections. This check is to ensure that all chimney systems are in good condition and can function and operate as they should. This check should especially be carried out by those of you who routinely use a fireplace at home. Chimneys that are not inspected routinely often have problems and eventually, homeowners have to spend money to pay extra fees as a result of a problematic chimney. Chimneys following fireplaces and vents should be inspected at least once a year. Chimney cleaning, maintenance, and repair should be done if necessary. If you don’t use chimneys you still have to do checks and cleaning. Don’t be curious if you have never cleaned your chimneys and chimneys into bird nests, raccoons, squirrels, and other creatures.
How to check the chimney and the fireplace yourself?
There are several ways to check your fireplace and chimney. When checking, you should wear old cloth because it will certainly be very dirty after checking.
- Check the cracks and furnace connections. For those of you who use stone fireplaces, also check the damage to bricks and mortar. If you find damage, in the furnace joints and gaps, try to repair it using refractory cement. Fireproof cement is a type of cement that is designed to handle extreme heat conditions in a fireplace and can be found at a fireplace material store.
- Replace the damper if you find damage. Open the damper completely and make sure it is in the right position. If you find the metal there are cracks, rust, or holes immediately do the replacement. Call a professional because this replacement is difficult to do alone if you are inexperienced.
- Check if the chimney is blocked by leaves and other debris that might fall into the chimney. Chimneys are a favorite nesting site for birds and squirrels. You never know when they start making their nests. If you can’t see the entire chimney from below, you should check from the roof.
