Why Should I get my Chimney Cleaned?
Cleaning your chimney is important to ensure the safety of your chimney. A chimney sweep will remove soot, any possible blockages and built-up creosote from your chimney. The build up of creosote, a highly flammable substance that is the result of burning wood, in your chimney increases your chance of a dangerous chimney fire. Creosote sticks to the inside of the chimney and is harder to remove the soot. Remember a chimney sweeping log should not replace an annual chimney sweep. Another important reason to get your chimney sweeped is a to remove any blockages. A blocked chimney can cause a dangerous amount of C02 to build uo in your house when burning a fire in the fireplace. Chimney caps can also help to prevent blockages. If you are in need of a chimney cleaning contact Chimney Doctors today.
How often should I get a chimney inspection?
Chimney inspections should be scheduled once a year to ensure your chimney is running smoothing. If you decide not to do a yearly inspection be sure to get your chimney inspected if you see any performance issues with your chimney or fireplace. If you see an issue with your chimney don’t wait! Waiting can lead to consequences such as additional repairs or even worse a dangerous fire. If you are in need of a chimney inspection contact us, the Chimney Doctors today.
What is a chimney damper and why is it important?
A chimney damper helps to control ventilation. It can be found inside the flue of your chimney, usually with a chain or handle to help you to open or close it. Dampers have many important uses. Dampers can help to keep cold air out of your home when you are not using your chimney, therefore helping you dave on heating bills. Dampers are also useful for controlling the intensity of your fire by regulating how much oxygen flow through your fire. It is important to make sure your flue is open when using your fireplace so that the smoke can escape. At Chimney Doctors we can fix a poorly fitted damper or replace a missing or damaged damper. Our dampers are top quality and with our professional the installation you are sure to save money on heating and energy bills.
