Many couples enjoy a romantic evening in front of the fireplace as the snow piles up outside. Watching the flames is both cozy and comfortable. But, inside the chimney may have a soot problem. Homeowners should turn to Bothell WA Cleaning Service to remove dangerous soot from inside the chimney at least once a year.
Creosote accumulation can be blamed on how the fuel is burned, the temperature the fire reaches and the turbulence in the air. Glazed creosote occurs after a fire that burns slowly. A dirty chimney is a definite fire hazard.
This fact has been confirmed by the Chimney Safety Institute of America, the professional authority on these topics. They train and certify service technicians in the industry. They also recommend a yearly safety check.
As the customer you have the right to ask them to show you their credentials. Ask if they carry business liability insurance. You may also ask for references and check to see if they are approved by the Better Business Bureau.
In spite of the fact that electric fireplaces often replace the real thing, there is still a need for chimney sweeps. In addition to inspecting and fixing chimneys and fireplaces, they clean natural gas burners. There are wood burning stoves that need venting system cleaning.
If you rarely light a fire, you might not have the chimney inspected. It may still be the safest idea since birds or small animals may nest in the chimney. Squirrels and even raccoons may take up residence in a warm and dark chimney.
Chimney sweeps have branched out into providing other services. They may be available to reline, rebuild or put a cap on your chimney to prevent critters from moving into the home. It is possible for them to do humane animal removal if necessary.
They can repair or rebuild chimneys and fireplaces. New home builders may call on them to design and build new fireplaces. When you hire a professional to clean your chimney, you will be keeping yourself, your family and your home safe from the danger of a fire.
