As it turned out, in the yard, relatives stood a bathhouse, which they have not used for a long time, as chimney clouted in the oven. Fortunately, I knew how to cope with this problem with my own hands, so I quickly took up the work and restored the overall furnace. Award from the heart shaved in the steam room and gathered very valuable information.

The results of everything was the instruction for cleaning chimney pipes, which I suggest your attention.

Why do you need a clean chimney channels

Many in their childhood saw how their grandfathers and great-grandfathers were cleaned with pipes from soot, but not everyone knows why you need to spend this not too pleasant operation. Therefore, I will work a little lecturer so that you have something to tell your children long winter evenings, swinging in the rocking chair by the fireplace.

So, when combustion of solid fuel, in addition to thermal energy and hot gases, soot is formed in the furnace. The streams of ascending thermal air it rises up the chimney and gradually settles on the walls of the smoke tube.

As the heating device is working, the soot layer becomes thicker. And in the end, all this can lead to very unpleasant consequences:

• the channel for the output of gases formed during burning is strongly narrowed, due to which the thrust in the pipe is reduced;
• soot, pouring on the walls of the chimney, damages the surface of the pipe and reduces the life of the device;
• the efficiency coefficient of the furnace (generating heat energy) is reduced, that is, to maintain the desired temperature in the room you will have to use more firewood, coal, fuel briquettes or what you have there;
• the likelihood of fire sediments inside the furnace chimney increases.

It will help to get rid of all troubles, only cleaning the smoke canal will help. It is only important to determine when it is necessary to start this not the most pleasant procedure. That's what I will tell you next.

When it is already impossible to postpone this unpleasant

In principle, based on our own experience, I can tell you that if the fireplace or wood-burning furnace is folded by an experienced master and they are complied with all the requirements, worry about how to clean the pipe from soot, it will be necessary to be more often once a few years.

Especially if you use high-quality fuel. For example, if in the furnace, in addition to firewood, you will throw different garbage, plastic bottles, plastic bags and other plastic objects, no need to count on clean chimney.

I can still advise you not to use for heating. Firewood, especially pine or spruce wood.
Most of all, birch fields are suitable for the furnace, which have lacquered in your field at least 2 years since the workpiece.

So, I will tell you about what signs indicate the need for urgent cleaning of the chimney:

1. Changing the color of smoke. Clean pipe is clean, light and transparent smoke. If soot has accumulated there, it will change its color to the darker. And the smoke itself will become more dense.

1. Changing the shade of an open flame in the furnace. If the rod in the tube is normal and chimney clean, the firewood burns with a light flame of an orange shade. The need to clean the chimney will testify the fire of orange color.

Whatever it was, I advise you to carry out the preventive cleaning of the pipe every 6 months: until the beginning of the cold season and after its end. This allows not only to remove the soot in time, but also to get rid of clogging the smoke canal by web, bird nests that fled leaves and so on.

Focusing on the signs outlined above, you definitely determine what you need to start work. But how to do it - we'll figure it out below.

Pipe cleaning methods

There are many ways to clean the pipe from soot. You can use both folk remedies and tips and the achievements of the modern chemical industry. Yes, no one canceled the mechanical way, that is, you can well work out for the pipeline.

In my practice I had to apply all the available ways, so I can safely talk about each of them in more detail.

Method 1 - use grandmother

It is not necessary to wonder the waistly. Our grandparents have long known that you need to burn in the oven to get rid of soot. I will not say that these ways are very effective, but they have the right to exist.

Here are some funds that you can use:

1. Rock salt. The usual dining salt must be poured on burning firewood or coal.

This method is quite common, but not particularly effective. My grandmother often poured salt to the stove, but she did it not so much to get rid of soot deposits in the smoke-free channel, how much to prevent its accumulation. Therefore, I will not stop for a long time, I will tell about another way.

1. Skirts from potatoes or potatoes themselves. The amount is determined by the size of the furnace in the furnace, but it usually grabbed near the bucket of such waste. They need to pour into already burning fire.

The essence of the method is that when burning, the potatoes from potatoes are distinguished by starch, which has a property softening soot deposits on the chimney. After this, the underlining waste is falling into the lower part of the pipe, from where they are removed through a specially made hole (it is provided for the furnace closer).

1. Firewood from aspen. To tell about the technology itself especially nothing. It is necessary to distort the firewood from aspen lane, after which melt the fire in the furnace.

This is what. Aspen firewood is lit with a very large temperature, so hot gases come into the smoke tube, which burn soot deposits. This method is sufficiently dangerous, so I advise you to comply with some precautions:

• make sure that the chimney material will endure the effects of high temperature;
• check that sediments of soot in the channel are not so great to ignite.

And in principle, no one bothers you to buy special chemicals for cleaning stoves from soot. Their price is small, and effectiveness is proved by practical experience. At least my. Therefore, the story will go about them.

Method 2 - call for help science

Modern industry produce a lot of funds specifically designed to remove soot from the chimney. They can be supplied in the form:

• powders;
• liquids;
• fuel briquettes.

They are added to the furnace during fuel combustion. The chemical elements contained in preparations do not harm human health, but have a destructive effect on soot deposits, causing its collapse into the lower part of the chimney.

Use additives must be used as deposits accumulated or from time to time, as a preventive tool.

The most popular means for cleaning chimneys from soot I described in the table with which I propose to get acquainted.

Name	Description
Anti-barbecue chemical composition	Special bulk powder, which must be poured directly on firewood during their combustion. This is a very effective means that allows you to quickly get rid of Nagara in the chimney channel. It can also be used for prophylaxis. In this case, the consumption of powder is 200 g per ton of fuel.
Comungonek	Means for removing Czech production. It also comes in the form of a powder, which contains a catalyst that allows you to burn out so in safe at low temperatures. However, the powder is only suitable for removing the Nagar's not too thick layer.
Polyseen-carvilla	The most popular method in our country is the method of cleaning chimney from soot. It can be used to clean pipes of furnaces and boilers working not only on solid, but also on fuel. Effectively removes sauhing accumulation and can be used for prophylaxis. In my case, to maintain the pure chimney of the fireplace in the country, there is enough of one PLAN, which I burn every month.

Considering that most likely you will use exactly the "Pinbyness", I will tell you how to clean the sage in the pipe with it:

1. First of all, it is necessary to make sure that the smoke channel is not completely packed with a soot, garbage or outsiders.
2. You can burn the fuel briquette itself both with the main fuel and completely independently.
3. To achieve maximum efficiency, I burn in firewood fireplace, after which I put the briquette on hot wood coals (like kebab, just not on skewers).
4. Before use, you need to remove the packaging, but not the wrapper itself, into which the substance is wrapped.
5. Usually it flashes on their own, but if for some reason it did not happen, set fire to the wrap from two sides alone.

The chemical itself, corrupting South, continues to operate about 14 days. Throughout this time, there is a collapse of chips from the pipe from the pipe into the furnace or the bottom of the smoke channel. It needs to be constantly removed from there.

In conclusion, this section I want to mention one characteristic about which not all knows about which. "Polyentener" during combustion forms gases with a temperature of over 1000 degrees Celsius, which can melt the flue pipe from steel. Therefore, it is possible to use a substance in furnaces with stone and ceramic pipes.

Method 3 - We climb on the pipe

I think you all familiarize the folk wisdom about what you can do good job only with your own hands. This is exactly what I was guided by cluttering pipes on a bath in the village. In this case, you get rid of not only from sauhing accumulations, but also from garbage in the canal.

At the end of the work, you yourself make sure how efficiently and smuggling the oven will work. And how I was shaped in the bath, I will not tell, otherwise you will envy.

We only talk about the scheme of work when cleaning the chimney from the internal saving accumulations. The sequence of action is:

1. First, close the doors or lay the holes with the holes in the chimns, which are specifically designed to clean the stoves from the saving accumulations. If this is not done, you are then tortured to wash off the inner rooms of the bath (or what you have there) from a black unpleasant flying.

If you brush the fireplace with an open furnace, I advise you to curtain it with a damp cloth, so that, again, avoid the Parco-economic day of cleaning the living room.

1. Then depicting Carlson and climb the roof. Since you don't have a motor, I advise you to come up with something as insurance, so as not to break down in the world's rank. Believe me, I don't want to carry you into traumatology.

By the way, if it rains, climbing the roof is also better to avoid. You will hit you or lightning, or you slip on the roof. Both are hardly like you and your loved ones.

1. First of all, you need to inspect the pipe from above. If the saving accumulations do not exceed 2 mm, you do not need to complicate your life. Travel to the store, buy a pipe cleaning agent and scatter it into the furnace. This will be more than enough.

You also need to see if a foreign object is not overlapping. Often it can be a bird's nest or fallen leaves. In this case, the plug must either pull up, or push down to remove through the door.

1. If soot, as in my case, a lot, we clean it with a special scraper. Then it can be replaced by a special brush that is sold in a specialized store.

To achieve maximum efficiency, I recommend to measure the diameter of the pipe in advance and purchase a tool whose diameter is somewhat larger than the smoke channel dimensions. It will turn out to be a kind of rash, similar to the one who soap moms in childhood a bottle of milk.

1. Another moment. In the process of work, it turned out that some cork was formed inside the pipe, which prevented the cleaning. In this case, you need to use a special girlet on the chain that breaks the blockage and wrap it down.

I do not advise in this case to use a sports gircuit with a handle. She is shifted by the center of gravity, so it can get stuck inside the tube channel and pull it out from there you can not. We will have to partially disassemble the smoke canal.

1. If you do not clean the furnace, but, you can partially release the smoke channel from the soot, flying-up. For this, special brushes on a long and durable handle are sold. It builds up in length, so you can get very deep inside the pipe.

1. At the end of the cleaning, it is necessary to remove the flowing soot from the furnace and from the pipe through specifically for this, the provided doors. Do not forget to clean up, there is also a lot of soot, which you want to delete.

On this cleaner, the chimney could be considered over. If it were not for one important stage - quality control of work. It can be safely entrusted with your second half, unless, of course, she will not be afraid to climb onto the roof.

Quality quality control

Upon completion of work, you need to check the quality of the work done and, most importantly, the state of the chimney itself. This can be done visually, but it is better to rent a special camera-endoscope, with which you can see the pipe throughout its entire.

If direct reach will be detected slots or defects in the surface of the chimney, they must be eliminated. This can be done as follows:

• divide clean clay with water and loss of cracks and cracks;
• after drying this layer, it is necessary to make a clay-sandy solution and carefully lure them all other defects;
• the last stage is the whims of the processed areas with lime or painting with a water-emulsion.

If in some places you could not clean the chimney, you will have to resort to partial disassembly of the furnace, since the residues of soot in the smoke canal can cause serious trouble.

Output

As you can see, nothing complicated in cleaning the pipe from soot. The main thing is to decide on the fulfillment of this dirty and unpleasant work. But in my case I was waiting for a reward in the form of a pleasant pastime in Banke. And I suggest watching the video in this article, where there is a bunch of information about the design and operation of furnaces.

And one moment. I would be very grateful if in the comments to this material you shared our own secrets and tips on how to better clean the pipe from soot. Perhaps the next time I do not have to spend so much time on the restoration of the overall furnace.

When the bath furnace is shaped, solid and gaseous combustion products are formed. Gaseous substances go to the atmosphere with hot smoke, and solids fall into the inner walls of gas ducts in the form of soot, soot.

What is dangerous to accumulate soot in the pipe and how to clean the bath pipe from it, we will talk in this article.

Below you will find a description of the design for cleaning the pipe, as well as the video, how to properly clean the bath tube with your own hands.

Where does the soot in the pipe be coming?

Sozha or soot formed when burning solid fuels (firewood, coal, briquettes) with an insufficient amount of oxygen coming from air to the furnace furnace.

The main mass of soot is practically pure carbon in the form of a black powder with a bulk density of 0.05-0.5 g / cm. Cube. Carbon is 98% of black sediments on the walls. The remaining 2% come on sulfur compounds, resinous substances and dust particles.

These substances in the form of ferrous sediments and accumulate on the inner surfaces of the bath furnace, as well as all sections of the chimney.

What is dangerous soot in a pipe?

It would seem - think, black soot settles on the inner surfaces of the pipe. So what? No one in the pipe is in a pipe and soot does not interfere with this.

But it's not at all. More precisely, not at all. Scoot deposits can present a rather serious threat. And that's why.

First, the soot burns perfectly. That is, the inner surface of the pipe over time is lined with a flammable material, ready to ignite at any moment. Without reading pipe often becomes a cause of fire in the bath. Sveges, soot highlights a large amount of heat, and its burning particles flying out of the pipe are able to become a source of ignition of economic buildings or at home.

Secondly, the tip of the soot pipe leads to a gradual narrowing of its passing diameter.

Unestation of the pipe reduces the thrust, reducing the supply of fresh air into the furnace furnace, which leads to incomplete combustion of fuel and the formation of carbon monoxide, which is fatally dangerous for humans. Bad thrust is one of the frequent causes of the death of people in the bath.

Curmarket gas has a density similar to air density, so it does not rise up and does not fall down. It has no color or odor and cannot be found in the air until poisoning happens. Penetrating into the lungs, carbon monoxide acts on the nervous endings, causing paralysis of the respiratory organs and the rapid fatal outcome.

The carbon black gas interacts poorly with activated coal and therefore even a gas mask against it is practically useless.

Thirdly, pouring on the walls of the soot leads to gradual destruction of the pipe as a result of the effects of a mixture of soot and condensate containing aggressive substance pipes. Pretty soon the pipe can fail, which will require rather labor repair.

How to reduce the amount of soot when burning?

The amount of combustion products that are distinguished by combustion products capable of precipitated in solid form on the pipe walls, primarily affect the following factors:

1. The type of fuel used to heat the furnace. So, for example, coal will give more soot than firewood.
2. Fuel humidity. More wet fuel requires more oxygen and a higher temperature for complete combustion. The greater the humidity, the more unfinished. The stronger smokes the stove and the more soot falls on the walls. Try to fuse dried wood or briquettes to reduce the number of black smoke. Firewood Store under a canopy so that they do not fall asleep snow.
3. Fuel purity. The presence of extraneous pollution in the fuel can also cause the separation of black smoke during combustion. The cleaner coal or firewood, the smaller the chock smoke. Try to turn the stove with low resin firings.

In addition, the sage loss in the pipe affects:

• the smoothness of the inner walls - on the rough walls of the soot accumulates significantly faster and thicker layer;
• the temperature of the pipe walls - if the pipe made of thin sheet material passes through a cold attic, this will lead to condensation on its surface of soot particles;
• incorrect geometry of the gas feeding pipe - during the design, local resistances and losses of thrust were not taken into account and in places change the diameter of the gas pipe, which can lead to a decrease in the speed of movement of the outgoing gases and the loss of solid particles;
• lack of air supplied to the location of the burning, bad thrust.

To prevent the accumulation of a large amount of soot, which can lead to the most unpleasant consequences, it is necessary to clean the inner surface of the bath tube in a timely manner!

How to clean the pipe in the bath from the coot layer, read below.

Cleaning the pipe with homemade hesh

In order to clean the pipe, you will need an ERS, which protruding parts will scroll all sediments and will return the pipe with a clean inner surface.

Folk craftsmans make rams for cleaning pipes from a variety of remedies. The main requirements for such a tower - it should not be stuck in the pipe and must ensure good cleaning of internal surfaces.

It is possible to make an ERS for cleaning from the soota from plastic bottles from under mineral water, making a slot in their walls and folded like a Chinese lantern.

After weighting the structure with the help of cargo, the ERS is descended to the pipe from top to bottom on a robust metal cable and gently make movement there and back to clean.

Video, how to make a homemade bucket for a bath pipe, you can see below:

As you can see, there are no special difficulties in the design of the Yersh and you can make the same hand and clear the chimney.

Plastic bottles are perfectly suitable in diameter, and the material from which they are made are quite durable in order to consume the accumulated layers of soot.

Purification pipe with special rotary sets

If you do not want to independently design a device for cleaning, you can use the gtow sets that can be found on sale.

As a rule, such sets consist of a flexible shaft segments, which increases along the progress of deep into the pipe, and the heroch, fixed on the front of the structure.

A special shank can be fixed on a flexible shaft, which allows you to clamp it in the cartridge of the usual electric crust and use it to bring the entire design in motion - performing rotation, the ERS acts much more efficiently than only when moving forward-back.

Video, how to clean the pipe with a special jersa with a flexible shaft, you can see below:

As you can see, cleaning the pipe from soot, it is not a whim, but the need to reduce the risk of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning with a bath. Therefore, be sure to regularly clean the chimney to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Use the options proposed in the article or you can come up with your way. The main thing is that it is effective and did not require large labor costs. And with a lung to you!

Do it yourself, often causes difficulties. On the other hand, a poorly working chimney in a bath or residential buildings reduces household comfort - the stove begins to smoke, the heating boiler gives less heat.

Safety requirements imply that the chimney of the heating boiler or the furnace in the bath must always be maintained in good condition. Otherwise, the risk of returning carbon monoxide inside the premises, smoke the room or ignition of soot and foreign objects in the pipe is increasing.

Why do you need cleaning chimney

On the question of how to clear the chimney at home, there are many constructive answers. It should be borne in mind that it is necessary to clean the pipe systematically, and not only in an emergency order.

With weak fuel, the fuel will not be fused, the rotation of smoke and carbon monoxide is broken, it is time to clean the chimney. Experts advise not to wait when in the house or bath the chimney tube will be thoroughly - regularly make preventive cleaning.

Prevention will provide good, stable craving. The frequency of prophylaxis depends on the intensity of operation (how much soot is highlighted and as often).
Also do not forget about the difference between the gas burners of the heating boilers and the burning of solid fuels. In the first case, the pipe is clogged quite slowly. But the cause of the violation of the patency can be hitting a foreign object or "collapse" of the chimney (the pipe from the stainless steel is flattened, the lumen disappeared). If you installed the poor-quality pipe of the heating boiler - it makes no sense to correct the defect. Contact the supplier, insist on the dismantling of the low-quality part.

Gas combustion and liquid fuel

Boilers on gas or liquid fuel leave no thick smoke. As a result of the combustion, a transparent carbon monoxide is formed, which is visually cannot be recognized (disatively leaves a little soot, which after a while is converted to soot on the walls of the chimney).

However, difficult burning is a clear sign of weak thrust and a signal that it's time to clean the chimney. In addition, there is always the probability of deformation of the withdrawing pipe, which also requires measures to restore the chimney's passability.

Combustion of solid fuel

In systems operating on firewood or coal, an alarming feature is smoke. If it is not extended and accumulates in the room, again, the whole thing is in the judgment of the passage of the pulling pipe due to the formation of soot inside the pipe.

So it's time to delete this soot. In solid fuel systems, it accumulates pretty quickly, and especially - with a frequent use or coal oven in the house (heat is consumed not only for heating the room, but also for cooking).

Take the problem with all seriousness. The negligence attitude is the threat of the fire of large particulate formations in chimney.

Causes of blockage

Before you start looking for useful videos on the Internet, you should deal with the reasons, because of which the chimney in the bath or residential building is clogged:
• non-compliance with the rules of operation;
• inside the pipe of small birds, insects, foreign objects (garbage entered by the wind - p / e packages, mint newspapers, etc.);
• improper technology of masonry of a brick furnace or fireplace, installation of the heating boiler in the house, proportions and connection of structural nodes;
• the absence of a protective "umbrella" at the end of the chimney on the side of the street (the rain and snow penetrate the chimney, turn the planting masses into dense crawl and lumps).

All these circumstances lead to the fact that the combustion products of the fireplace, a furnace or boiler do not have time to outlook. They settled on the walls of the chimney channel in the form of soot - sometimes it is a "fluffy" lightweight, and sometimes in the form of quite large flakes (characteristic of furnaces and).

Each individual case is individual. First, find out the nature of the zero, the density of the soot and the size of the layer on the walls of the chimney (or the presence of a foreign object in the pipe). From this will depend on the selection of the instrument and the cleaning method.

Methods of cleaning by folk remedies

For centuries, people owned knowledge about the cleaning of homemade furnaces and chimneys with simple, accessible tools. These include:
• firewood with high combustion temperature (birch, aspen);
• salt or naphthalene (naphthalene today is resorted to everything less often, since he leaves an unpleasant long-playing smell in the premises);
• potato peelings.

Birch or aspen firewood

Method features:
• these breeds of wood highlight a lot of thermal energy;
• high temperature well cleaned chimneys from stainless steel or brick;
• soased peasant formations are literally flaps from the walls and with force are taken out;
• the method is also recommended for preventing the pipes of the pipe in the house or bath (at high temperatures, the chimney overlays the soot extremely slow).

When using this method, clean the firewood from the bark. Purified wood burns completely, and flaky particles remain from the cortex.

Potato cleansing

Procedure:
• prepare potato cleaning in the amount of approximately ½ bucket (the amount depends on the size of the furnace and the chimney power);
• sweep them so that there is no rot;
• fasting the furnace in the bath or in the house of high-calorie coal, with top of putting dry potato cleaning, - the resulting hot steam contains a lot of starch, it will help soften the soot in the tube. It will subsequently suck, the heavy fractions will fall down (you will remove them when you can clean the furnace in the planned mode), and light flakes will fly up under the action of thrust.

Cook Sali.

The method is good for home and bath chimneys, as well as for cleaning fireplaces:
• on the hot fuel, pour out 1.5 glasses of an ordinary cook salt;
• when interacting with oxygen, the salt forms a medium in which the formation of soot and particulate sediments is minimal.

This method is not recommended if the furnace is actively operated and operates on solid fuels in large quantities. The salt method is more efficient as prevention.

Chemical methods

Adversals of chemistry should be remembered that it is used quite often to clean the sewage in homes and apartments. In contrast to the sewage, cleaning agents are submitted from below through steam (in the sewer pipe it would have to pour from above).

Do not forget to properly observe precautions - following said dosages, ventilating from evaporation, protection against contact with eyes, skin and mucous membranes.

Preparation of PCC

This potent substance is sold in economic and building stores. Suitable for solid fuel boiler and brick wood stoves of a residential building. Act strictly in accordance with the attached instructions.

Unpacking the FCC does not need to be burned directly in the package.

Copper Capoon with Selutyra

Features:
• the substance is a mixture of copper sipop, nitrate and crushed in coke coal powder;
• in one time it is impossible to use more than 200 g of substance;
• powder scatters over the fuel burned to the stage of red coals;
• the chemical reaction will lead to a sprinkling of the particulate height from the walls of the chimney.

"Comments" of the production of the Czech Republic

Features:
• the tool is very effective, but only if the soot layer is not 2 mm thick;
• one dose is 14 g, but it is enough that the chimney of the furnace or boiler for the third months remained clean and maintained high permeability.

It is enough to clean the chimney by this tool once every six months, and then maintain the condition of the pipe in its pure form due to prevention measures.

Chemical Poultry

To use this method, do not even need to watch video with instructions. Simple actions:
• buy in the store and carefully read the recommendations;
• put in the furnace furnace when burning firewood;
• the highlighted active substances are well peeling the plantation growths.

According to the results of the use of such a simple tool, you will see that the thrust has improved at times. The detachment of flakes will be observed for another 1.5-2 weeks after cleaning.

The composition is full:

• urea;
• ammonium sulfate;
• zinc chloride;
• coal dust;
• coal wax;
• amorphous silica;
• wood sawdust;
• phosphorus oxide;
• anhydrous sodium sulfate.

During wastewater work, all the harmful components will be destroyed with a chimney into the street. Therefore, the poisoning does not threaten you.

Mechanical cleaning

For this type of cleaning work - the widest opportunities. Of the advantages you can note the availability and absolute environmental purity (without chemistry). The disadvantage is the moment of danger of work at the height.

Instruments

What can be used for mechanical cleaners:
• gury on chains. It fell into her heavy weight into the chimney, punching thick creoshot layers (the weight holds a strong cable, to which it is additionally recommended to attach various scratching devices);
• hard brushes of different types and shapes (of course, you need to take care of sufficient length of the handles so that they penetrate the remote places);
• schomptol, pole or long battle;
• all sorts of stainless steel rams on a long cable - by analogy with how the sewage system is cleaned by a mechanical manner.

You will also need a staircase to climb height.

Designing The device is based on the understanding of the essence of the method. The tool must scrape, scratch, rip off the pests.

Protective and auxiliary

Do not forget about individual means of protection when working with Soot and soot. Prepare in advance:
• respirator;
• gloves;
• protective glasses;
• overalls;
• do not neglect the safety ropes to work on the roof.

In detail how to work with a rope with a hero, watch the video - everything is painted in steps. Especially this Council is addressed to beginners.

Operating procedure

If you clean the chimney from above:

• rear to the desired height;
• lower the cable with the hero in the chimney mine and make reciprocating movements (it is well shown on the learning video);
• it is useful sometimes to make rotational movements on the principle of a bull.

Many in life had to clean the sewer pipe with a special twisted cable - now it's time to repeat familiar actions.

Unlike sewage, there is no moisture in the chimney chimney. But inevitably a large amount of mechanical dust and particles flying out of the pipe. Be sure to use the respirator and protective glasses.

If you clean the chimney from below:

• this path is characteristic to clean the fireplaces - the chimney hole is very close (while the heating furnaces to it through the firebox almost do not get through);
• first, work as a ram on a long handle, a bug, brushes;
• next, apply the rotational technique (as if in front of you the tube of sewage - twist the spring cable first in one, then to the other side).

If you can work together:

• the perfect option is to clean the ears on two sides. The mechanical device is drained through the chimney completely, from the side of the street to the firebox itself;
• there are several intensive movements both vertically and with rotation.

A large amount of crosant garbage will be covered down. Shipping the surface with a dense technical material (for example, a tarpaulter). At the end of the work you easily remove waste from the furnace.

Sophisticated furnace structures
Often in large private houses, instead of a modern heating boiler, a complex configuration is often laid out.

Cleaning features:
• turns at an angle of 90 degrees - an irresistible obstacle for Ershov, brushes and bugs;
• find special clean holes (miniature doors) through which you can penetrate in hard-to-reach places;
• if the "walking" brick is installed instead of the door, it is best to invite a specialist who knows all the subtleties of oven masonry. Without special skills to install a removable brick in place very difficult.

Cleaning the chimney is recommended to engage in early autumn, in windless weather, and that is why:
• hot summer oven is not token, so it is difficult to determine the degree of passability and effectiveness of the cleaning;
• in winter, the heating system should work properly, without any technical "breaks". In addition, the roof is snow, slippery and dangerous.

There is nothing better than conscientious prevention. It will protect the chimney from premature wear, will extend its service life. Regularly push the oven 2-3 days in a row with birch or aspen firewood cleaned from the crust. Do it at least 3-5 times a quarter, track the quality of the thrust.

Lovers get into their own Balke, the question often arises, how to clean the chimney in the bath in the most efficient way with minimal costs.

If this is not done in a timely manner, in a short time it will be possible to notice a significant reduction in thrust and incomplete combustion of firewood in the stove, which as a result can lead not only to the failure of the chimney itself, but also to the emergence of a fire.

The regular cleaning of chimney from soot is needed even if modern modular systems are installed in the bath.

The accumulation of soot on the walls of the chimney is a serious problem with which today you can cope without assistance.

This situation is relevant for both fireplaces equipped with their own chimney and installed in the kitchen in the house or in the apartment.

In most cases, cleaning is performed using special devices and means that today in a large assortment are presented in specialized stores.

Some owners resort to folk methods, allowing to get rid of soot in chimney. About how to clean the chimney is described in detail on the video below.

Chemical methods of cleaning

The clogging of the chimney, including in the kitchen, occurs due to the fact that smoke in its composition contains small solid particles that settle on the walls of the channel and are fastened with water vapors resulting from the combustion process.

Education in the chimney of soot from the stove in the bath or kitchen, as well as from the fireplace in the apartment contributes to a significant deterioration in thrust and, as a result, the impossibility of exploiting furnace equipment.

Also, the chimney can clog out from random fall into the tube of leaves and other garbage, the collapsed brickwork.

Before cleaning the chimney pipe in a bath or kitchen, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with each way separately and choose the most efficient.

So, a fairly old and time-tested way to clean the chimney (and in the kitchen including) from soot, which other ancestors were used - stove stove with dry aspen firewood.

When burning this type of wood, the temperature of the flame reaches sufficiently high indicators, which contributes to the root of the plaque and clean the channel.

In addition, you can try to burn potato cleaning, the smoke of which breaks down the soot raid and makes it possible to easily consider it from the surface.

Nowadays in specialized stores, you can purchase special chemical compositions that contribute to rapidly and efficient cleaning of chimneys in the bath.

They are produced in different forms, ranging from powders and tablets and ending with liquids and briquettes. These funds are placed together with firewood in the stove and are completely burned.

During its burning, they allocate smoke saturated with chemicals, which contributes to the decomposition of the resin, as a result of which small particles of soot with the flow of air are taken out, and large - fall down.

As a rule, when combustion of these chemical compositions, the flame color becomes blue or green. This means that the means is effective.

This prevention should be carried out at least once a month, while the chimney did not have time to completely scorch the soot.

Mechanical methods cleaning

Chemical compounds are not always effective when cleaning the chimney in the bath or kitchen.

All sorts of garbage can get into the pipe, which will prevent the formation of thrust and interfere with the burning of special chemicals.

The pipe can be cleaned with brushes, scrapers and heers having different sizes and shapes.

In addition, in some cases, a special core with a cable attached to it may be required, with which it is possible to break through sufficiently dense blockages.

All these smoke channel cleaning devices can be purchased in the store and make it yourself.

Start cleaning the chimney is best from the top of the pipe, gradually going down down. Produce cleaning through the equipped clean doors.

Lastly, it is brushing the fiber itself and adjacent to the ash bar.

Before starting all the work on writing the chimney on the roof of the house, the staircase is well fixed. Also, you should open all the dampers and vice versa, close the holes of the furnace and the ashtar.

In addition, it is preliminarily produced by a dismantling of a seam tube. All work must be performed in the respirator.

It is a cable, at one end of which the handle is located for rotation, and on the other - a special nozzle, the diameter of which should slightly exceed the diameter of the pipe itself.

The cable moves along the smoke channel by rotating the handle as little as possible.

If the Promotion of the Yers is stroke, hence it stumbled upon a tight block, which will have to pierce with the kernel.

It should be lowered into a pipe with sharp movements, without touching its walls, otherwise you can break the brickwork. After elimination of the barbell continues to clean the flexible hero.

After the pipe is fully cleaned, it is necessary to remove soot through special clean doors.

In most cases, several such doors are equipped along the entire length of the smoke channel.

To begin with, the channel from the soot, which fell from above, after which, with the help of a scraper and the ears, make cleaning its walls, gradually moving down where the furnace is located.

Some overseas overseas is a straight design on which there are no clear doors. In this case, the soot channel scratched from the walls is lowered into the furnace.

At the final stage, it should be carefully cleaned as a cooker and firek. To do this, you can use a vacuum cleaner, which is first recommended to equip a disposable paper package for garbage.

At the end of work, melt oven and check the availability and quality of traction. If everything went fine, then the tip of the pipe is mounted a pre-removed headband.

In order for chimney from the stove or fireplace as small as possible, it is recommended to use only wood hardwood trees.

It is dangerous to use coniferous breeds that, with its burning, they distinguish an increased amount of resin, having a property to settle the dense layer on the walls of the smoke channel in the form of a viscous mass.

It is also unwanted to use even a small amount of diesel fusion for extracting the stove, which contributes to the formation of a dense flush on the chimney.

All firewood, which are designed for burning in a stove or fireplace, must be carefully dryed.

Wet firewood during combustion is highlighted with wet steam, which not only contributes to the accumulation of soot and soot on the walls of the pipe, but also destroys the chimney itself.

It is worth completely abandoning burning in the stove of all sorts of rags, polyethylene packages, rubber products, as well as plastic bottles and other similar garbage.

The fact is that the combustion products of various synthetic materials form a very dense flaw on the walls of the smoke channel, which is extremely difficult.

In addition, these materials are distinguished by combustion, which is dangerous to health as people and animals.

As prophylactic measures at the end of each extractor, the furnace is recommended to burn in it a few lanes of the aspen or sprinkle with salt to the residues of smoldering firewood.

This will help prevent abundant sedimentation of soot on the smoke canal. In any case, the fallout in the chimney is formed regardless of the firing and compliance with preventive measures used.

It should be obtained by a rule regularly conduct its inspection, and if necessary, clean it.

To clean the chimney from combustion and soot products should be approached with full responsibility.

The furnace will not be able to function normally if it is clogged, and this may lead to serious consequences, up to the occurrence of a fire.

In the event that it is not possible to independently cope with the cleaning of the smoke channel, it is recommended to seek help to appropriate specialists.

About how to properly clean the smoke canal in various ways, is described in detail on the video posted above.

If you have already cleaned the pipe and she scored again, then it is worth checking if you were not allowed any errors. By itself, they can not shine so quickly. Say deposition takes place during the burning of fuel.

Let's look at the reasons why the chimney is clogged:

1. During the process of burning firewood, the humidity exceeds 24% and steam is allocated. It makes it mixed with smoke and heads into the chimney. Inside the pipe itself, the hot and cold flow occur and thereby occurs condensate. The moisture begins to settle on the walls and accumulate over time. Sayage will cover and cover the inner space of the chimney.
2. The furnace in the bath must be dried with dry lamps. Use chipboard, plastic and garbage categorically prohibited. As part of such elements is highlighted when burning soot, which also clogs chimney.
3. If the tube from the side of the bath is not insulated, then condensate is carried out. Hot smoke meets with cold chimney walls and drops with a sediment. Such a wet surface will stick the soot.

How to clear the chimney in the bath

The cleansing procedure implies the removal of soot from the chimney walls and the elimination of excess garbage. After proper purification, the furnace becomes clean and thereby pondered the furnaces. You can independently make cleaning due to the chemical and mechanical method. If you do not succeed, then the specialist should be called.

So, mechanical cleaning is carried out in this way:

1. From the very top of the chimney, the ledge is removed, an inspection is carried out.
2. At the point of fastening the cap and the pipe always accumulates the soot. It can be cleaned with a scraper, you can clean only where the hand breaks.
3. Next to the rope tie the hesh, just below the ship, lower down. It is impossible to rock such a mechanism. If the cargo hit, then it can damage you the walls of the chimney.
4. Ersh promote up and down.
5. From the side of the furnace chimney clean the brush with a long handle. It is also perfect for a cable, with bending with a handle.

Now let's look at vacuum cleaning. This is already a professional flushing chimney with a vacuum. Nozzle is placed inside. Motor as a vacuum cleaner with a strong stream of air begins to blow out the soot from the pipe. This method gives an excellent effect. The lack of such an option is dirt.
