What can go up a chimney down but not down a chimney up? An umbrella, of course! But the business of chimney sweeping is no laughing matter. Why should we take the conditions that exist inside of our chimney seriously?
- Fire!!! Right before winter we're bombarded by the usual TV ads. Cha-cha-cha chia things, and fireplace logs designed to scour flammable stuff out of the chimneys inner area. That residue deposited by burning logs in the fireplace can catch fire. The National Fire Protection Association calculates that 38% of reported home heating fires between 2007 and 2011 were chimney and/or fireplace related. Don't trust a log to keep you safe. Call a chimney sweeping professional.
- Deadly Danger With No Warning! Cars aren't the only source of deadly carbon monoxide. A chimney experiences debris buildup from birds and trees which clogs the chimney. That clogging inhibits the free exit of everything our fireplace burns. Carbon monoxide is a gas that's colorless, odorless, tasteless, and deadly and lurks in the chimney when we use our fireplace . Like visiting in-laws, we want it to flow out of our home as soon as possible. A well-maintained chimney insures that!
- An Ounce Of Prevention? Priceless! Regular inspection of our chimney by an expert in the field alerts us to issues we can't see from the outside or may not recognize as a problem if we did see it. Professionals are also on the cutting edge of new products and/or technology regarding chimneys and fireplaces. We are always available for consultation on all chimney related questions.
