What is a chimney cleaning?
A chimney cleaning is a process of removing creosote from your chimney’s flue system to prevent chimney fires. In Reston, chimney inspections and cleanings are one of the best things you can do to protect your home and family. Over time, creosote and other combustible byproducts, produced by your crackling fire, can build up inside your chimney’s flue system. If there is a significant amount of buildup, typically ⅛ inch, your chimney will need to be cleaned. This why it is very important to keep your wood stove, chimney and fireplace clean and in good condition.
Why is an inspection and chimney cleaning important?
An Inspection and chimney cleaning ensures that your chimney is free from any and all potential fire hazards, including creosote buildup and blockages created by animal nests and other debris. These hazards can lead to your chimney’s premature deterioration, and if ignited by the intense heat of the flames, can start a chimney fire. An inspection will also identify any structural or interior damage to the chimney that poses a danger to your home. Chimney services, such as chimney sweeping and chimney repairs, help contribute to the health and safety of your home.
