Why is chimney cleaning important?
Main Reason
- Regular chimney cleaning is necessary to avoid fire danger
- Industry practice – clean when there is 1/8” or 3mm of creosote build up
- Prevent corrosion to your venting system with a chimney sweep
- Maintain proper system operation
- Maintain living space air quality with flue cleaning
Other Important Reasons
- Chimneys perform by generating a draft, which pulls poisonous carbon monoxide and dangerous combustion gases from your fireplace, and expels them outside your house through the chimney, to leave the air clean and healthy inside your home. Learn more about chimney sweeper services.
Air Quality
To avoid potential risks like carbon monoxide poisoning and chimney fires, and to live a healthy life, it is vital to hire a professional chimney sweep to inspect and clean your fireplaces and chimneys regularly.
what does a Chimney sweep do?
When a chimney is used regularly, a layer of flammable creosote, soot, ashes, and debris accumulate in your fireplace and chimney. Cleaning and sweeping your chimney dramatically reduces the hazard of a dangerous chimney fire and keeps your living space free of toxic fumes.
Prolong your chimney's life
According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), water is your chimney’s biggest enemy, and to extend the life of your chimney, looking out for this enemy and preventing it from entering your chimney is crucial.
