Chimney Sweeps - The National Network of Local SuppliersMany people have chimneys that are in regular use. It is important that chimneys are regularly inspected and swept. The National Association of Chimney Sweeps recommended that fires burning oil, gas and smokeless fuel get swept annually, fires burning coal get swept twice a year and fires burning wood get swept four times a year.It is also important to have a “smoke test” conducted on your chimney regularly. This will check the integrity of your chimney and ensure that no dangerous gases are leaking into your home. It is especially important that this is completed when installing a new fireplace and re-opening an old fireplace. All modern chimneys have a lining but these can be prone to failure over time. Older chimneys might not even have a liner. Liners are important as they protect the rest of your home from any leaks and smoke damage. Chimneys can be relined in rigid of flexible materials. This is usually dependent on the type of chimney you have. There are many companies specializing in chimney re-lining. Cowl and chimney pots are available for purchase. There are a number of different varieties and they serve different purposes. Some are designed to keep birds, leaves, rodents and debris from falling down the chimney flue. Other, more specialist cowls and pots include spark arrestors and downdraft excluders. Search for a local chimney sweep in an area near you using our national network of suppliers. |
