Why is chimney cleaning necessary?
Chimney cleaning is an important part of home maintenance not only to protect the chimney, but to also protect the entire home from damage. When using your fireplace to burn wood, the products of incomplete combustion (soot & creosote) begin to build up in your chimney’s flue over time. Next, these highly flammable soot and creosote deposits finally ignite and a chimney fire occurs.
Surprisingly, a chimney fire is capable of reaching dangerously high temperatures well over 2,000 degrees. In doing so, chimney fires will often cause severe damage to the chimney structure. Most importantly, homes are destroyed and lives are lost by chimney fires. Chimney fires are preventable and with regular chimney cleanings, you can keep your home and family safe.
