  • Always try and wait until the following morning after your last fire to start cleaning the chimney;
  • Rather wear your oldest clothes and a pair of strong, thick gloves;
  • Lay sheets of newspaper on the floor in front of the chimney;
  • For protection of your furniture and anything else of importance in the room, cover it with plastic drop sheets;
  • Line a large trash bin with at least two thick plastic bags;
  • Pick up the fireplace grate or andirons and take them outside for later cleaning;
  • Either shovel the ashes into a metal bucket or vacuum it up;
  • Inspect your chimney all the way up to the flue for creosote, which is an indication of necessary cleaning immediately;
  • Rinse the whole interior with clean water;
  • Carefully pick up the newspapers which will most probably now be filled full of various carbon compounds that is no longer capable of harming you, and place them in the trash bin;
  • While the firebox dries, go outside and scrape the soot off the andirons and grate with the wire brush;
  • Put everything back where it belongs, close the flue, and your fireplace is ready.

TN Chimney Liners

For more information regarding Nashville TN Chimney liners, contact All Year Chimney Sweeps and Repair situated in Cloverwood Drive.

What is a chimney liner?

The main purpose of a chimney liner is to contain the products of combustion which can be in the form of liquids, solids, gases and heat within your chimney. Chimney lining systems should be U.L. Laboratory Tested for Zero Clearance to Combustibles. It should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and therefore may provide some sort of a degree of increased safety. The size of the chimney’s lining system greatly affects the efficiency of the heating appliance. A square or rectangular shaped tile lining system is more convenient for construction and therefore most often used, but less efficient for air flow. Interestingly, round linings are in actual fact preferred, as smoke travels in an elliptical twist while traveling up the flue system.
