Chimney Sweeping and Inspections

When burning in a wood-burning fireplace, gas will be produced from the fire. These gasses then rise through the chimney flue and escape through the top. However, these gasses can sometimes end up sticking to the sides of the flue, which will eventually build up. These unburned flue gasses harden into what is known as soot and creosote. Soot is black, powdery, or flaky while creosote resembles tar, or can be rock hard.

These materials can be dangerous if left to build up over time. This is because creosote is a flammable material, and can lead to a chimney fire. Guardian Chimney Sweep New Orleans Louisiana certified technicians perform expert and quality chimney sweeps to rid the chimney of any soot and creosote buildup. They also then perform a professional 21-point safety inspection, examining the chimney top to bottom to ensure the safety of the home, and a clean bill of health for your chimney.

Chimney Water Leak Repair

Water leaks are definitely the most common reason for chimney and fireplace damage. If water leaks go unnoticed, it can lead to serious trouble down the line in regards to the structural integrity of your chimney. Here are the three most common signs of water leaks you can look out for

Spalling

Bricks are like sponges, they are porous and absorb water. During the winter, any water that is absorbed through rain sleet, or snow can freeze while trapped in the brick. This freezing causes the water to expand, which can cause the face and chunks of the brick to break off.

This can weaken the bricks, causing structural issues. a way to prevent spalling is by making sure your chimney getting enough sunlight to dry. Also, Guardian Chimney Sweep New Orleans offers water repellant services, to make sure the water can’t be absorbed, to begin with.

Liner Deterioration and Rusting

If water enters the chimney through the top, it can cause damage to the terracotta flue liners. Any cracks that you discover in the liner should be reported to a chimney sweep company ASAP. Water can also cause rusting on the damper and firebox. If you notice rust or tile damage, call Guardian Chimney Sweep New Orleans for an inspection to determine the severity and source of the water leaks and damage.

French Quarter

The French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carré and Barrio Francés, is the oldest neighborhood in the city of New Orleans. After New Orleans was founded in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, the city developed around the Vieux Carré, a central square.

The district is more commonly called the French Quarter today, or simply “The Quarter,” related to changes in the city with American immigration after the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. Most of the extant historic buildings were constructed either in the late 18th century, during the city’s period of Spanish rule, or were built during the first half of the 19th century, after U.S. annexation and statehood.

City Park is approximately 50% larger than Central Park in New York City, the municipal park recognized by Americans nationwide as the archetypal urban greenspace. Although it is an urban park whose land is owned by the City of New Orleans, it is administered by the City Park Improvement Association, an arm of state government, not by the New Orleans Parks and Parkways Department.
