Chimney Problems: Diagnosing and Repairing Chimney Leaks and Fire Place Problems
Oh, how annoying! Chimney problems and faulty fireplaces are a frustrating problem for a homeowner to face. Chimney problems can be difficult and time consuming to diagnose. There are many areas that can cause a chimney to leak, including the chimney cap or the crown, or the roof flashing around the chimney, or even porous bricks. It’s much more complicated than you would think. That’s why it is a good idea to have a chimney repair specialist evaluate the problem.
You might have your favorite, all-around handy-man that you regularly consult with for small home repairs, but chimney repairs should be handled by an expert. Remember, your chimney is where hot air and fumes are carried from the home; if it isn’t functioning properly, it could be a fire hazard. If it is not venting properly, it is a potential health hazard.
When using a fire place, heat rises through the chimney, drawing cooler air from the room into the fire place, which fans the fire, increasing he heat, to continue on in a cycle. Like chimney leaks, fire place problems should also be evaluated by an expert. Understanding fireplaces requires scientific knowledge of air flow patterns and pressure differentials. It is also important be experienced with different fire place construction types when choosing materials and supplies and determining avenues of repair.
Do not trust the repair and maintenance of your chimney and fire place to just anyone; call an expert for a professional annual inspection and cleaning.
