CHIMNEY SWEEPING
Throughout the year all active chimneys will experience a build-up of Carbons and Creosote, more commonly referred to as ‘soot’. This build-up of soot is unwanted for several reasons. The creosote that sticks to the entire chimney system is flammable if allowed to build up, putting your house at risk of a chimney fire. The carbon deposits also reduce air flow out of the chimney, creating a less efficient and slower burning fire, as well as putting you at risk of being exposed to harmful CO gasses unable to effectively be extracted up the chimney. And the cycle is self-propelling – the reduced flow causes the fire to burn colder, in turn creating more harmful deposits than a hotter burning stove or fireplace.
Other obstructions inside the chimney flue can be caused by loose building material, birds nesting ,chimney balloons, to name a few.
