Toxic chimney ... asks for something




by Lou Lou » 16/10/06, 00:07

Hello,
I am polytoxycosensitive (environmental hypersensitive) and I have just rented a living space in the countryside, large and bright, but I noticed that the chimney which passed in the middle of it smelled (and harmful effects). After visual inspection, there is a liquid creosote slide and several blackened areas of soot which has passed through the cement joints (brick chimney). This chimney once had an interior clay liner which collapsed. It appears that there was an accumulation directly on the masonry.

Would there be someone who would know how I could repair it in a non-toxic way for me (healthy products) while keeping as much as possible the appearance of this beautiful brick fireplace. I am a tenant and not an owner ...

Thank you! Looking forward to reading your suggestions.

Hello,
The simple way to repair a wooden chimney in red terracotta which has a brickwork around, it sells (sleeves) shirt in stainless steel sheet which are exactly in wood format, they are simply pushed into the chimney and are invisible from the outside, no more leaks, no more creosote slides, guaranteed for life, easier to sweep soot does not stick well on stainless steel.
The problem you meet is due to chimneys that are not used long enough, so too cold, it condenses and the frost does the rest of the damage.
