Replacing and repairing damaged brick

Replacing and repairing damaged bricks a simple enough project for an experienced Mason. this chimney was the need of some talk. And brake replacement. these brick are what's called in Orange bark face, they get their name because the texture on the brick appears like the tree bark. after removing and replacing the damaged brick, the entire chimney is tuck pointed to provide a uniform order color and to seal the rest of the masonry joints on the chimney.

Concrete for installation in Detroit Michigan

The area around the college is really growing in leaps and bounds its fantastic see historic homes being refurbished and brought back to the original condition. On this historic home which was being converted into a multi-unit, the floor was completely destroyed, after removing the old concrete a new floor was poured. Dealing with single digit temperatures in Michigan the winter can be difficult to on this installation instead of using  a wheelbarrow from the concrete truck we employed the use of a concrete pump. this is a fantastic method for moving large amounts of concrete into difficult to reach places.

Michigan Chimney Crown







CHIMNEY REPAIR TIPS REPLACING THE CHIMNEY CROWN


Many times as a homeowner or property investor you will find your chimney in need of some minor chimney repair or chimney sweeping.  The first step is gain access to the chimney. If your chimney is 30 feet tall and inaccessible it may be wise to hire a chimney repair specialist. Most reputable masonry contractors will provide you with a free estimate. Once you have gained access to your chimney you can begin the repair process.
The second step is to assess the level of chimney repair necessary. If your chimney crown is cracked this can often times be a simple enough chimney repair to perform for an experienced do-it-yourselfer. The chimney crown is the top concrete part of the chimney.  Any chimney crown repair begins with the removal of the damaged crown. Most Chimney repair specialist will chip away the concrete with a rotary hammer or pneumatic chisel. As a DIY homeowner an older and more manual method may be necessary to remove the chimney crown. For this I would recommend a chisel, 5 lb sledge hammer, & brick hammer. Of coarse the tool necessary for chimney repair and chimney crown replacement are dependent on the size and thickness of the crown.
Once you have removed the chimney crown inspect the flue on the chimney. The chimney flue liner is the ceramic insert that runs up the center of the chimney. If the flue is cracked it may be time to call in a chimney repair professional. Provided the chimney flu is in sound condition you can begin replacing the chimney crown.  The next step in the chimney repair process is the clean and loose debris and dust of the top of the chimney. Use a stiff bristle brush to clean of any particles.
The next step in the chimney repair process is to mix up some concrete. In most cases I recommend that the DIY homeowner use a redi-mix concrete. When I do a chimney repair I prefer using fiber reinforced crack resistant concrete. I have found that the thicker/stiffer the concrete is mixed the less likely it is to run down the side of the chimney this will make for a cleaner chimney repair. When working in a warmer climate and temperatures exceed 80 degrees on the day you do your chimney repair you will want to mix your concrete more thin/loose.
Make sure to slope your concrete away from the ceramic flue liner to allow for proper water drainage. I find that when you make your chimney crown thicker it makes for a longer lasting chimney repair. On Most chimney repairs on chimney crown pour the concrete 4-7 inches thick at the flue and slope it down to a 2 inch edge. Achieving a smooth finish on your concrete can take years of practice to master but with some patience most DIY homeowners can handle this repair

Brick Repair (248) 895 7752


With any chimney repair or masonry restoration project comes debris. Small chunks of mortar, pieces of concrete, and chunks of brick from the demolition of the brickwork can add up fast. And lets face it, its not like your local garbageman or trash removal service is going to grab a garbage can that weighs 500 lbs and carry it away. That is why whenever you plan on doing any kind of demolition project, chimney repair, or brickwork you need to know what to do with your debris and trash.

One option is to remove the brick debris, concrete, and mortar yourself. This involves filling up a trailer or truck and hauling out the brick, concrete, and mortar. You can then haul this material to the dump, but the dump charges by weight. A much more practical method of removing the debris, is to find a local concrete recycling company. Most concrete recycling companies will take any concrete and mortar you have and dispose of it. A select few concrete recycling companies, commonly referred to as the concrete crusher, will take your brick debris also. Concrete, brick, and mortar are ground up to a gravel sized consistency. This aggregate is then recycled into new concrete. The problem with using concrete crushers and recyclers is unless you have a dump truck or dump trailer, you must handle your material and debris not only when you haul it off of the job, but when you dump it. By far the most cost-effective way to go on any large scale demolition project is to rent a dumpster. Whenever you rent the dumpster be sure to specify what you plan on disposing of inside of it.

At Brick Repair LLC we are committed to the local Michigan environment. We use concrete recycling companies whenever possible.

Detroit Chimney Repair




Detroit Chimney Sweeps & Chimney Cleaning in Detroit

Detroit fireplace chimney fires are a reality of life. They destroy homes and lives. Hiring a Detroit chimney sweep can prevent most chimney fires. Most Detroit residents don’t even realize the risk their homes could be in from chimney fires. First, let us establish who is at risk.

If proper precautions are taken, Detroit fireplace chimney fires can be avoided. Your Chimney should be inspected by a chimney sweep regularly. First, you need to understand the anatomy of how a fireplace works and how a fireplace chimney fire is set into motion. When a fire is built in a chimney it is started in the fireplace fire box.

The chimney firebox is built out fire brick. A fire brick, firebrick, or refractory brick is a block of refractory ceramic material used in lining furnaces, kilns, fireboxes, and fireplaces. A fireplace fire box is primarily to withstand high temperature, but will also usually have a low thermal conductivity for greater energy efficiency. Fireplace firebrick are weaker, but they are much lighter, and insulate far better than dense bricks. A fireplace fire box should be free from cracks. The fireplace fire brick will taper in toward a damper and smoke shelf. A fireplace firebox is the only spot in which burning wood should occur

Everybody knows where there is smoke there is fire. A fire in your fire box is one thing having a fire in your chimney is another matter completely. That is why having a Detroit chimney sweep regularly inspect you fireplace is so critical. A Qualified Detroit chimney sweep explain that when you burn wood in your fireplace chimney, smoke is released and travels up from your fire box and into a smoke shelf and chimney flue liner. As the warm smoke travels up the chimney flue liner it begins to cool . That smoke condenses on the inside walls of your flue liner and is converted into creosote.In the chimney sweeps war against chimney fires creosote is the enemy.

Creosote is a highly flammable material that can ignite from almost any flame or spark. The type of wood that is burned in a fireplace affects the amount of creosote built up on the flue liner. Green, or unseasoned, contains a lot of moisture. This means it takes more heat to burn the wood in the fireplace firebox. Green wood produces more creosote.

Outside temperature also plays a factor in the amount of creosote formed. Colder tempature in Detroit can cool a chimney. Chimneys that run up the side of your house are more apt to produce creosote in the Detroit winter than one that runs up the center of your home. This is because masonry has a low insulation value and warm smoke being hit by cool temperatures condenses more quickly.

Proper air flow is critical to your chimney. Making sure your damper is open all the way so that smoke ventilates through the chimney quickly also reduces the risk of creosote forming. A Fireplace chimney must be built to a proper height to draft properly. Having a Fireplace to keep you warm in Detroit cold winter is wonderfull, unless it drafts properly and fills your home with smoke.

You must make sure a Detroit chimney sweep gives you a chimney cleaning annually. When you ignite paper or cardboard in your fireplace, often times small flaming pieces of ash and soot can drift up the flue liner and are more likely to ignite the creosote that has built up.

Chimney Repair Detroit: Preventing Chimney Fires


Chimney Repair Detroit: This is a warning about the danger of chimney fires and ways to prevent them. The Chimney sweep does not get much thought. Most people don’t spend much time worrying about this potential dangerous situation. Why? Out of sight, out of mind. What you can’t see won’t hurt you…or will it?

Hiring a chimney sweep and chimney maintenance is important to prevent a chimney fire. A chimney fire can be devastating. Do you know what causes chimney fires?

The Anatomy of a Chimney Fire

When you burn wood in your fireplace the smoke it releases travels up the chimney. The smoke is full of matter that condenses on the flue liner. This matter is called creosote. As soon as the creosote has been produced, it continues to bond to the walls, waiting for a flame or spark to ignite it. That is why hiringa a chimney sweep and regular chimney sweeping is so critical.

The type of wood that you burn in your chimney can affect the amount of chimney sweeping by a chimney sweep that is required. The matirial burned. can affect the amount of creosote that builds up along the chimney flue liner. Unseasoned wood (green), for example, is the key perpetrator. Unseasoned wood hold a lot of moisture which needs to be removed in order for it to burn. Unseasoned wood produces a cooler smoke than seasoned wood and it is more likely to condense inside your chimney. Using unseasond wood increases how regularly you will need to have a chimney sweep sweep your chimney

The temperature also plays an important role on the effects of your chimney. The cold air outside helps to cool off the smoke from your fireplace and also causes condensation to form creosote. Creosote is the leading cause of fireplace chimney fires. Have yout chimnney swept by a chimney cleaning prfesional. A chimney that runs up the side of your home rather than through the center is more likely to form condensation and creosote.

In order to burn properly fire need heat, fuel and air. Using your fireplaces properly can afects the amount of chimney sweeping nessasarry. Failure to open the damper completely or closing the glass doors on your fire place will restrict airflow. Adequate air flow allows the smoke to escape before it condenses. Where there is smoke there is creosote. When youe have creosote you need a chimney sweep.


Bulky, compressed bundles of wood will burn cooler and cause more condensation. Hotter fires are best. Do not burn cardboard or paper in your fireplace because the small flaming pieces of ash can drift up your chimney and ignite the existing creosote.

There is no way to completely prevent creosote, but you can keep it down to a minimum. Chimney sweepng and cleaning is the only way to remove creosote build-up and prevent chimney fires. Have your chimney cleaned by a qaulified chimney sweep on a regular basis to be safe.

A chimney sweep or chimney cleaning professional will also look for other damage that needs attention. If you have any doubts about the condition of your chimney, call a chimney sweep professional who specializes in chimney repair today

The following is what wikipedia has to say about chimney sweeps

Chimney sweep in the 1850s

A chimney sweep is a person who who makes a living cleaning chimney. A vast majority of Chimney sweeps were children during the industrial revolution

Contents

[hide]

[edit] History

It is only in the last two hundred years that the chimney has grown large enough to hold a man, giving rise to the image of the chimney sweep as it developed in the time of the Industrial Revolution. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Western Europe, construction of rooflines with crow-stepped gables became common to allow chimney sweeps convenient access to the chimney top. With the increased urban population that came with the Age of Industrialization, the number of houses with chimneys grew apace and the occupation of chimney sweep became much sought-after. It was also one of the more commonly difficult, hazardous, and low-paying occupations of the era, and consequently has been derided in verse, ballad and pantomime. However, once modern heating technologies became more available, the occupation became romanticized in popular media and literature.

[edit] United Kingdom

In 1788, the Act for the Better Regulation of Chimney Sweepers and their Apprentices was passed, to limit a sweeper to six apprentices, at least 8 years old, but lacked enforcement.[1]

In 1840 a lengthy law was passed making it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to sweep chimneys. A Friendly Society for the Protection and Education of Chimney-Sweepers' Boys had been established in 1800.[2] The 1840 Act became a dead letter. The Chimney Sweepers Regulation Act 1864, c37. tightened controls significantly. Lord Shaftesbury was a main proponent of the Bill.

A Chimney Sweepers Act was passed in 1875 that required chimney sweepers to be authorised by the police to carry on their businesses in the district, providing enforcement.[1]

Modern chimney sweep

With the rise of central heating systems and the decline in the use of chimneys, the sweep profession became less prevalent, though the service continues in most communities on a smaller scale.

[edit] Today

Today, chimney sweeps still maintain a thriving new industry in many parts of the world. The industry has expanded from the maintenance of wood-burning fireplace and appliance venting systems to include venting for many types of heating appliances. Venting systems for Heating Oil, natural gas, wood and pellet burning appliances, including building furnaces and space heaters are maintained by modern chimney sweeps. The standard chimney brush is still used, along with more modern tools (such as vacuums, cameras and special chimney cleaning tools), although most sweeps are done from the bottom of the chimney, rather than the top, to prevent the dispersion of dust and debris[3].

Modern sweeps are professionals, and are usually trained to diagnose and repair hazards along with simple maintenance such as sweeps. In the US, two trade organizations that help to regulate the industry are the Chimney Safety Institute of America and National Chimney Sweeps Guild. In the UK the main trade association is the National Association of Chimney Sweeps.

[edit] Literature

Chimney sweeps were often depicted in Victorian literature as heartless scoundrels who abused their child workers. They are typified in The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley. The English poet William Blake portrayed the chimney sweep as an abused child who hoped for a better life. In both "Songs of Innocence" and "Songs of Experience", Blake showcases the life of a common sweeper and exposes those who allowed barbaric actions against them to take place. In Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist a particularly vicious chimney sweep called Gamfield wants to take Oliver as an apprentice, but at the last minute the magistrate refuses to sanction the move ("Mr Gamfield did happen to labour under the slight imputation of having bruised three or four boys to death already." )

In "The Shepherdess and the Sweep" (1845), a fairy tale by the Danish poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen, a porcelain chimney sweep sits upon a table top near his love, a porcelain shepherdess. When the two are threatened, the chimney sweep gallantly conducts his love safely to the rooftop through the stove pipe.

In Michael Crichton's novel The Great Train Robbery, Clean Willy Williams was an accessory to the gold heist. An apprentice chimney sweep who later became a "snakesman" (a burglar adept at climbing and wriggling through small spaces), he uses his skills to escape from Newgate Prison and to gain access to the railway office where important keys are stored.

With the development of newer brush system and the end of child labor, the occupation changed its image to one of agile and good natured men, the chief example being in the book series Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney film adaptation which has an extended dance sequence in which the jovial workers celebrate the end of the workday with fearless acrobatics. Their leader, "Bert", played by Dick van Dyke, sings "Chim Chim Cher-ee" which won the Oscar for "Best Song" in 1965. The chorus refers to the traditional association of chimney sweeps with good luck: "Good luck will rub off when I shake 'ands with you, or blow me a kiss ... and that's lucky too".

Barbara Vine's novel The Chimney Sweeper's Boy has as a central plot device a moth of that name, more formally identified as Epichnopterix plumella, which represents the main character's transformation and identity.

[edit] Superstitions

  • In parts of Great Britain it is still considered lucky for a bride to see a chimney sweep on her wedding day. Many modern British sweeps hire themselves out to attend weddings in pursuance of this tradition.[citation needed]

  • As a Lucky symbol, depictions of chimney sweeps are a popular New Year's gift in Germany; either as small ornaments attached to flower bouquets or candy, e.g. marzipan chimney sweeps.[citation needed]. Their traditional uniform is an all black suit with golden jacket buttons and a black tophat.

  • In Croatia, Chimney sweeps still wear a traditional all black uniform with small black cap. It is considered good luck to rub one of your buttons if you pass one in the street.[citation needed]

Logo of the National Chimney Sweep Guild.

The National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) is a non-profit trade association for chimney sweeps and chimney and venting manufacturers in the United States and Canada. Based in Plainfield, Indiana, it has approximately 1,100 member companies. Member companies range in size from the owner-operator sole proprietor chimney sweep companies to those with 15+ vehicle crews and manufacturers with hundreds of employees.

NCSG was founded in 1977 as a result of increased woodstove use due to the oil embargo crisis of the early to mid-1970s. It is the only national trade association representing chimney professionals in North America.

The stated mission of the NCSG is "to promote the success of its members by providing progressive services, encouraging professionalism and ethical accountability and advancing the chimney and venting industry through public awareness of the trade." Membership is open to any chimney-related company, be it manufacturer, supplier, distributor or service company. The NCSG is governed by an elected board of directors made up of representatives from eight geographic regions within North America, one supplier representative and four at-large directors.

In 1986, NCSG published the first edition of Successful Chimney Sweeping, the first manual to set a standard for chimney service practices ever written.

The NCSG supports regional and state chimney sweep guilds and associations and is a member of the European Federation of Chimney Sweeps (ESCHFOE) and regularly participates in international technical and business meetings. Eleven times each year, the National Chimney Sweep Guild publishes its trade journal, Sweeping: The Journal of Chimney and Venting Technology.

A list of the tallest chimneys of the world.

[edit] Timeline of world's tallest chimney

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, tall chimneys were built, at the beginning with bricks, and later also of concrete or steel. Although chimneys never held the absolute height record, they are among the tallest free-standing architectural structures and often hold national records (as tallest free-standing or as overall tallest structure of a country).[citation needed]
