Understanding Your Chimney

At All Star Chimney Solutions, we truly believe that knowledge is a vital part of ensuring the proper and safe operation of your chimney. For that reason, we think it is imperative to teach you about the basics of your chimney.

The design of all chimneys is intended to exhaust smoke or waste gasses from a fireplace, and each and every chimney contains vital parts. At the very top of the chimney is the cowl. This part is crucial because it prevents birds, raccoons, rodents and other animals from nesting inside the chimney. Nesting animals in a chimney is not only a nuisance, but it can be very dangerous. The cowl also usually features a rain guard, which prevents snow and rain from going down into the chimney. There is also a metal wire mesh, which serves as a spark arrestor and minimizes burning debris from the rising out of the chimney and landing on the roof, on trees, or on other structures around the chimney. The cowl can also serve as a wind directional cap. When the wind blows, this cap will align with the wind, thus preventing a backdraft of smoke and the wind from blowing down the chimney.

Every chimney also contains a damper. The damper is a metal plate, and it can be positioned so that it will close off the chimney when it is not in use. The damper prevents air from blowing down the chimney and minimizes the amount of heat that is lost from the house through the chimney. There are two types of dampers:

1. A top damper, which is a metal spring door that is placed at the head of the chimney. This kind of damper is attached to a long metal chain, which you can use to open and close the damper from the fireplace.
2. A throat damper, which is a metal plate that is located at the base of the chimney, right above the firebox. This type of damper is attached to a lever, gear or a chain, which is used to open and close it.

The remaining space inside the chimney is called a flue.

Signs Your Chimney Needs to be serviced

If you notice any of the following signs that indicate your chimney needs to be repaired, it is imperative that you call All Star Chimney Solutions right away:

• Damaged mortar joints
• A rusted damper or firebox
• Spalling Bricks (when the surface of the masonry pops out, peels off or flakes off)
• Shaling flue tiles (when to think pieces of the chimney tile start to pile up at the bottom of the chimney)
• A cracked chimney crown
• Damage to the interior or exterior walls around the chimney

These are all serious issues that need to be addressed immediately; however, having All Star Chimney Solutions perform regular cleaning and inspections of your chimney will prevent these problems from developing. We highly recommend that you have your chimney cleaned at least twice a year to ensure it is safe and secure.
