Precipitation

Elphin 1 post Feb 15, 2009 2:48 PM	Does precipitation ever present a problem if it comes down the chimney and lands on the balloon? Does it matter if it is snow, rain or whatever?

The UV in sunshine will break-down the rubber retaining ring on the interior of the Chimney Balloon. That is the reason we use viton retention rings if you are going to use a Chimney Balloon in a skylight chute to stop cold air from comming in around a skylight. If you get a significant amount of precpitation in your chimney you may want to seriously consider a cap. The freezing and thawing of moisture in a chimney can cause problems with the tuck pointing and the bricks. ---------- Jasonr Moderator

So, UV from the sun is not a concern. I don't believe I have excessive precipitation as I live in New England in the US. But I do I do get some. I'm purchasing a house with many fireplaces. The heat is off this winter and I have noticed some small amounts of snow have accumulated in a couple of the fireplaces. So, my concern was about having this accumulation sitting on top of an inflated chimney balloon and eventually melting.
