Chimney Sweep NY focuses on prevention and venting hazards of chimney in New York City. Regular inspection of your chimney reveals hidden faults and by identifying these faults we can avert big tragedies. Chimney Sweep NY acts as a guide to all chimneys, fuel and all related problems.
A fire place has following attachments:-
Chimney- usually vertical structure containing a passage or flue by which smoke and gases etc. of a fire or furnace are carried off and by means of which draft is created
Flue- The fuel is a shaft, tube or pipe used as an outlet to carry smoke, gas or heat from a fire place or furnace.
Flue pipe-A flue pipe is a single metal pipe used to connect a fireplace to the chimney
Flue Liner- The flue liner is made be made of concrete or metal. It is the material used to form the flue within the chimney.
Some time problems occur in these parts and as you know that chimney working is based on very simple physical principles. If we look at these principles, it will help you to identify the basis three problems that are caused due to smoke. First main problem that is faced by the client is the poor flue pull and the emission of fumes or smoke into the room where the fire place is situated. Secondly problem is the leakage of smoke and fumes into the adjoining rooms or roof space and lastly moisture due to the rain into the flue or condensation from the flue gases.
In Modern houses ventilation in the house is not up to the mark resulting in air starvation. As we know that fire takes place in the presence of oxygen. Air contains 20% oxygen in it. For a proper combustion air is needed badly and it addition to that air is also needed to vent the smoke up the chimney. Lack of ventilation is a dangerous situation. When you try to burn fire place (either with solid fuel /gas) with insufficient ventilation, you will observe following consequences. Due to insufficient ventilation, incomplete combustion will take place; the bi-product of this combustion is carbon mono oxide (odorless and highly poisonous gas) and the fumes from the fire.
Chimney Sweep NY strongly believes that mechanical method of cleaning is the best method of cleaning Chimney because chemical cleaning causes debris which has to be removed for a smooth functioning of the chimney. Mechanical methods not only clean creosote from the chimney and it also remove debris from the fireplace. Chemical cleanser removes a portion of creosote from the Chimney interiors through catalytic action when burned in a fire place, but it cannot clean the debris that it left in the chimney. Sometimes the thick layers of creosote becomes resistant than combination of chemical methods and conventional methods facilitate its removal. Experts believe that hiring a qualified sweep company is a better option than cleaning your chimney with chemical products.
