What Hurst chimneys deal with
Local dossier · Hurst, TX
At the bottom of many of Hurst's 1960s and 1970s fireplaces there is a small metal door in the floor of the firebox, and beneath it a shaft running down to a cleanout door in the crawlspace, the garage, or outside at the base of the chimney. It is an ash dump, it was standard on this era of construction, and on a great many houses it has not been opened in decades. Two things go wrong with it. Filled to capacity, it packs ash right up into the firebox floor, and ash is hygroscopic — it holds moisture against the masonry and corrodes the metal door from underneath. And a cleanout door that has rusted through or lost its cover is an opening straight into the base of the chimney, which is how animals get in and how the draft that should be pulling up the flue gets short-circuited at the bottom. Neither is dramatic and both are cheap to resolve. Prime Chimney Experts checks and empties the dump as part of a full service and photographs the cleanout door, because it is genuinely the part of a chimney that nobody has looked at — often since the house was built.
