. The builders should have been shot.
Iāve used my leaf blower for the dryer vent.If thatās all he got, once a year would be just fine.
Iāve had that same system for dryer ventsā¦24ā. used to death by me and several neighbors who had wacky vent lines. Mine had 7 bends
Bottom up? How do you get the brush past the damper?
Remove a couple of screws
??
Take out a section of pipe above the stove
I have a fireplace (Heatilator). The chimney is inside a chase all the way to the roof.
The very flexible brush should slide right byā¦same as a chimney sweep would do it.
My brush is threaded to accept those fiberglass sections. But it's fairly stiff steel bristles. I got it caught in the damper one time coming down from the top. The damper was wide open and I pushed the brush too far down.
Ah, Iāve only used the nylon type brushes. Maybe the company that made yours has one?
So, first off, there's no damper in my furnace. Second have a triple wall stainless chimney so 3 screws and the clean out cover is off for easy bottom up cleaning. Few more screws to pop the pipe off the back of the furnace and brush it and the thimble out. Easy as pie. But did basically the same thing with the old masonry chimney just used a 8" square wire brush ve the 6" round polly brush I use now. The fiberglass poles bend enough to get around the old clean out door and go bottom up on the old chimney.
I just push past it going up and pull hard when coming down past it.
You find one, let me know. post a link.
I used one to clean my unlined brick chimney before I put a stainless liner in it. It worked, but made an enormous mess. Make sure you go forward and reverse on the drill.
