Fixing a chimney draft

A chimney damper is the valve that
A great way to solve this is to install a new top mount damper. These top mount dampers have a rubber gasket which seals. They are installed on the top of the flue liner and a chain is laying down the length of the flue tiles into the fire box where it is bolted into place. This is a much more cost effective solution than rebuilding the chimney or fireplace in order to install a new traditional damper in addition to being more cost effective top mount dampers are more energy efficient. Call today to have one of our chimney sweeps or inspectors provide you a quote on installing a top mount damper

A fireplace damper opens and closes allowing smoke to escape up through the chimney flue tiles and out of the house. Over time and with age these dampers can become rusted out or rusted shut completely. Regardless this makes having a fire either impossible or allows a cold air drive to come down through your chimney and into your home. The chimney and fireplace are designed to be a source of heat not a source of a cold draft coming into your house.

Mark Maupin, Jr., Member of Brick Repair LLC. Tells the Six Tips for Finding Bricklayer

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 03, 2007 ) Livonia, MI -- Rebuilding your chimney and replacing damaged brick can be an overwhelming venture these days. Demolition of the existing chimney or brickwork and hauling away the debris can be time consuming and backbreaking work. Finding a brick that matches the color texture and size of the original brick can involve stopping at a dozen brickyards only to find a substandard match. Rebuilding the chimney itself is labor intensive and detail-oriented, leaving mistakes visible for a lifetime. Even the most experienced do-it-yourselfers can become nervous tackling this daunting project.

Demolition of masonry structures can require special tools and equipment, costing thousands of dollars. While strong when completed, brick structures can become very weak and delicate as brick are removed from them. It is not uncommon end up removing many more brick than originally anticipated on a project. Most dumps charge by the pound to dispose of debris, and your garbage man is not going to take away a pile of brick for you. You must have a plan for debris removal. In most cases, it is best to leave the brick and block-work to a professional mason. Here are some helpful tips on finding the right bricklayer for your job.

1. Use only insured contactors

2. Use a reputable company

4. Look at their previous work or photos of it
