This one in particular comes to mind since we just completed their service recently. We completed a chimney sweeping service for a residential customer whose chimney was desperately in need of some attention. Our technicians removed 5 gallons of soot from this chimney. That is a lot of soot. The chimney safety Institute of America states that 1/8 of an inch of soot build up is enough fuel buildup to cause a chimney fire capable of damaging your chimney and possibly spreading to your home. just an eighth of an inch. This chimney must not have been used for a while because 5 gallons is a lot of soot to remove from an entire chimney. The chimney also had cracks, the Chimney Cap was broken, and they even had vegetation growing out of the chimney flue. This chimney was just a mess, and I’m really glad that the homeowner got our team out to their property to thoroughly clean and inspect it before they decided to start using it.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney sweeping Wilmington service completed by the professionals at least once a year. even if you do not use your chimney at all, or you only use it a couple times this winter, you should definitely still have it cleaned and inspected every single year. Wood burning fireplaces create a byproduct called creosote, which is made mostly up of tar. creosote is that black oily looking stuff that lines itself on the inside of your chimney walls. even wood burning fireplaces can create carbon monoxide. if a chimney is blocked and the carbon monoxide produced by the fireplace cannot exit through the top of the chimney, it will flow back into your home. When things like creosote, animal nests, vegetation, and other debris block up your chimney, it affects your chimney’s ability to properly release toxins like carbon monoxide and smoke from the fire. Now that’s something I didn’t know and sorry until I started doing some research into chimney sweeping services. 150 people die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning just from chimneys. That’s a pretty scary thought.
Stay on top of your chimney sweeping Wilmington services to keep your home, and your family safe from a multitude of issues. Having that much creosote buildup in your home can not be good for the quality of the air in your home. when you have too much Creosote buildup it actually smells like a campfire. That’s one way to tell that you have too much creosote buildup, and it also can’t be good for the inside of your home to smell like a campfire. not to mention the whole carbon monoxide fact that I just mentioned in the last paragraph. and the fact that chimneys alone account for over 3,000 fires, 28 deaths, 54 injuries, and 220 million dollars every single year. over half of those buyers happen in the winter months of December, January, and february. These are some pretty scary statistics, but it’s all true and great information that I think residential income commercial customers need to be aware of.
