Hello
Well it is that time of year to check the chimneys and make sure they are ready to go!
However after spending 6k for a boiler and 2.5k for the chimney, the 5" round metal chimney on my boiler had no cleanout!!
Sure just take out a few screws and wrestle and fuss and then clean the mess
!
Or pay big bugs for someone else to do it. If he spends alot of time taking things apart and then getting them back together, then that is way less time to a nice chimney cleaning.
So I am taking it apart once and putting in a T pipe with cleanout cap!!
Naturally it does not go as planned and I cannot use the 2 45s in pic 1 & 2 below!
T is in pic 3 and the pipes are fitted in pic 4 just have to put in some screws!!
So for approx $23.00 for the 5" 26 guage T and $6.25 for a 2 feet section of 5" flue, it works!!
How much would a pro charge for this job?
Now if that goes into a 6" pipe should I get a 5" poly flue brush or will a 6" brush work for both 5 and 6 inch sections??
