It sounds like you have a prefabricated chimney with a rusted chase cover. The top of the housing that is built around many prefab chimneys has a flat metal roof called a chase top or chase cover. Homebuilders nearly always use galvanized steel chase covers that begin to rust-out after about 15-years. Eventually, the corrosion will eat through the metal and cause a serious leak. We routinely replace these rusted-out covers with stainless steel chase covers that will last a lifetime.

DEPENDS ON THE NATURE OF THE STAIN There are two types of stains - those that are in the intermolecular spaces or voids of plasatics . and those that become part of the actual polymeric material of the plastic or other material to be cleaned (essentially "dying" the material) Dealing with the first example, rust clearly is water-related and produces stains in gelcoat or vinyl only in so far as it penetrates the pores and voids.

Rust if the result of a natural chemical reaction between steel and air. It's accelerated by increased moisture and corrosive agents like road salt and exposure to salty sea water. If covered with paint the metal surface is protected from oxygen and moisture - it won't rust. Rock chips, dents, scrapes or anything that breaks the paint's surface can allow oxidation to continue.

Yes, Cillit Bang Power Cleaner Grime & Lime is highly effective against tough dirt, grime and limescale, and it also works well on rust stains.

Rust Remover removes rust stains from stainless steel, stucco, exterior tile, porcelain, concrete, masonry or painted exterior surfaces such as wood, painted metal, including painted aluminum.

Bleach is a highly unstable solution which can ruin dye sites in carpet. This may make the carpeting un-repairable unless bonded inserts (patches) are used.

The white stains or powder-like material is often the result of water penetration of the chimney. During a rain, snow, or ice storm water is absorbed by the brick and mortar crown. In the case of snow or ice storm the freeze thaw cycles can enlarge the cracks on the top of the chimney mortar crown allowing water to enter the structure this way. The chimney will soon saturate with water. As the chimney dries, lime and salts from brick and mortar are pushed out of the pores of the chimney.

Chimney fires are usually caused by the accumulation of creosote in the chimney. Creosote is a natural by-product of burning wood. It accumulates in the flue over time and is highly flammable. Creosote is especially likely to accumulate when wood is not burned at the proper temperature. Since creosote is flammable, when it accumulates on the walls of your flue, hot flue gasses can ignite it. The result is a chimney fire.

Iron in your water is the most likely culprit. It stains faucets, sinks, bathtubs, countertops, appliances and even clothing. You can usually remove the iron with a home water conditioner. In some instances, iron is present in such large amounts that a multi-stage filtration system is necessary to remove it. But don't fret; your problem may appear worse than it really is. Iron in even small amounts can cause staining.

Deck Cleaner will remove all rust marks from GRP. Just rub some un diluted over the affected area and with a small brush agitate and allow 10/15mins to work removing with water.

Sometimes a ???plug' (or droplet) of oil and water blocks the chimney. Simply blow down the chimney to clear it.

A.) I can't be bothered to make it pretty. I figure any time that I waste using my html skills to brush up appearances would basically be better spent seeing & writing about more movies. It's a matter of priorities, bub. Q.) What is your all-time favorite movie? A.) Always with the unanswerables, eh? If you were to hold a proverbial gun to my head and make me answer, I'd probably spurt out Manhattan (though I am equally likely to say Vertigo or Chinatown).

According to our definition, "ugly" refers to much more than simply the cosmetic condition of a house.

The pellets are an environmental and toxic free formula and so they do not contain the harsh chemicals that removes grease and ground in dirt. In the kit is a "Phosphate Free" Stain Remover. You can use this paste directly on the stain or you can soak the clothes in a bucket of water with 10cms of paste over night (mix well) I recommend mixing up 10cm of the paste to 400-500mls of water in a 500ml water spray bottle.
