Why Hire Us To Clean Your Chimney?
What Can Cause a Chimney Fire?
Chimney liners or structural problems can allow high temperatures, sparks and embers to escape to combustible areas in walls, roofs or attics. A common cause of chimney fires is creosote inside the chimney catching fire and burning inside the chimney. A good sweeping and regular inspections can help to prevent some of these common issues.
How Long Does a Chimney Sweep Take?
A chimney sweep takes about 45-60 minutes per flue depending on how dirty they are. Inspections generally don’t take very long. However, there are a few factors that influence how much time will be needed. These factors include how many flues you have, the age of the home, the height of the chimney and other factors.
Why Sweep Your Chimney Regularly?
When chimney systems are not kept up to proper standards, a regular chimney sweeping may not be enough. If a chimney liner has cracked flues or missing mortar, creosote can start to build up outside of the flue system where it cannot be cleaned. This increases the risk of a fire and prevents the system from properly protecting your home from the heat of a fire when it does happen.
Protect Yourself and Your Chimney
There is no such thing as a “safe” chimney. Of the home fires that started from a chimney or heating system, 98 percent came from chimneys that had not been swept or were in sub-standard condition. If you don’t have your chimney inspected and cleaned regularly, you are putting yourself at risk. Schedule your chimney cleaning and inspection today.
