Why fireplaces do not
work, how to make your chimney draft properly and how to build a chimney and
fireplace that draft properly are a common topic of discussion among
bricklayers and masonry contractors. Since man first discovered fire and dug
the first fire pit all the way up till huge chimney stacks and furnaces suplied
heat to industrial plants and homes having your fireplace burn properly has
been the problem hand. The prices of building a brick or stone fireplaces and
chimney has steadily grown as knowledge of brick stone and masonry has
increased. During these modern times we have the advantage of learning from our
fore fathers and developing formulas and techniques to combat draft and
increase fireplace and chimney efficiency. Still today we find that some
fireplace chimney's work better than others.
The main principle of
why a chimney or fireplace works because heat rises. When you start a fire, in
your fireplace the air inside chimney warms and begins to rise .The heat of the
fire in your fir box draws in the cooler air from the room it is in. This cooler
air flows into the firebox fanning the fire increasing the flame in an ongoing
cycle. The heat dynamic created pressure differentials can also create a
pleasant breeze as it moves across the top of your chimney.
There are numerous
reasons a chimney and fireplace may not function properly. Will start with the
the most simple & obvious solutions Please bear in mind this list may not
solve all of your fireplace and chimney issues but it should provide you a good
place to start. Here is a list of common reasons that fireplaces and chimneys
don't work .
To really understand
fireplaces chimney sweeping and chimney's requires extensive knowledge masonry
and fireplaces. Being a chimney sweep does not mean you a qualified to do
chimney repair. Likewise being good at masonry and brick work does not make you
good with chimneys. When dealing with your chimney repair and chimney problems
you want a contractor familiar chimney building codes, pressure differentials,
and actual fireplace construction techniques. If the information provided here
does not help you solve the problem with your fireplace, consider hiring an
experienced, chimney sweep and masonry restoration expert in your area. The
problem may be obvious to someone with chimney and fireplace experience once
they can actually look over the fireplace and chimney..
Michigan fireplace chimney fires are a reality
of life They destroy thousands of homes and lives. Having a regular chimney
cleaning by your local chimney sweep can prevent most chimney fires. Most Oakland
County Commerce and Highland residents don’t even realize the risk their homes
could be in from chimney fires. First, let us establish who is at risk.
If proper precautions are taken, brick fireplace
chimney fires can be avoided. A Chimney should be inspected by a chimney sweep
and chimney cleaning specialist regularly. First, you need to understand the
anatomy of how a fireplace works and how a fireplace chimney fire is set into
motion. When a fire is built in a masonry or brick chimney it is started in the
fireplace fire box.
The chimney firebox is built out of fire brick.
A fire brick, firebrick, or refractory brick is
a block of refractory ceramic material used in lining furnaces, kilns, fireboxes, and fireplaces. A fireplace fire box is primarily to withstand
high temperature, but will also usually have a low thermal conductivity for
greater energy efficiency. Fireplace firebrick are weaker, but they are much
lighter, and insulate far better than dense bricks. A brick fireplace brick
fire box should be free from cracks. The fireplace fire brick will taper in
toward a damper and smoke shelf. A fireplace firebox is the only spot in which
burning wood should occur.
Everybody knows where there is chimney smoke
there is fire, so obviously when you burn wood in your masonry and brick
fireplace chimney, smoke is released and travels up from your fire box and into
a smoke shelf and chimney flue liner. As the warm smoke travels up the chimney
flue liner it begins to cool . That smoke condenses on the inside walls of your
chimney flue liner and is converted into creosote.
Creosote is a highly flammable material that
ignites easily from flame or spark. The type of wood that is burned in a brick
chimney fireplace and frequency of chimney cleaning affects the amount of
creosote built up on the chimney flue liner. Green, or unseasoned wood,
contains a lot of moisture. This means it takes more heat to burn the wood in
the brick fireplace firebox. Green wood produces more creosote.
Outside temperature also plays a factor in the
amount of creosote formed. Chimneys that run up the side of your brick house
are more apt to produce creosote. than one that runs up the center of your home
This is because brick concrete and stone masonry has a low insulation value.
The warm smoke being hit by cool temperatures condenses more quickly.
Proper air flow is critical to your stone or
brick chimney. Making sure your fireplace damper is open all the way so that
smoke ventilates through the chimney quickly also reduces the risk of creosote
forming. A Fireplace chimney must be built to a proper height to draft
properly. Usually three feet above the roof or ten feet from the roof.
You must make sure to have a chimney cleaning
professional or chimney sweep clean your chimney annually. When you ignite
paper and cardboard in your fireplace, often times small flaming pieces of ash
and soot can drift up the flue liner and are more likely to ignite the creosote
that has built up.

With any chimney repair
or masonry restoration project comes debris. Small chunks of mortar, pieces of
concrete, and chunks of brick from the demolition of the brickwork can add up
fast. And lets face it, its not like your local garbageman or trash removal
service is going to grab a garbage can that weighs 500 lbs and carry it away.
That is why whenever you plan on doing any kind of demolition project, chimney
repair, or brickwork you need to know what to do with your debris and trash.
One option is to remove
the brick debris, concrete, and mortar yourself. This involves filling up a
trailer or truck and hauling out the brick, concrete, and mortar. You can then
haul this material to the dump, but the dump charges by weight. A much more
practical method of removing the debris, is to find a local concrete recycling
company. Most concrete recycling companies will take any concrete and mortar
you have and dispose of it. A select few concrete recycling companies, commonly
referred to as the concrete crusher, will take your brick debris also.
Concrete, brick, and mortar are ground up to a gravel sized consistency. This
aggregate is then recycled into new concrete. The problem with using concrete
crushers and recyclers is unless you have a dump truck or dump trailer, you
must handle your material and debris not only when you haul it off of the job,
but when you dump it. By far the most cost-effective way to go on any large
scale demolition project is to rent a dumpster. Whenever you rent the dumpster
be sure to specify what you plan on disposing of inside of it.
