They can put your chimney in first rate order and get rid of soot and creosote that accumulates over time on the inside of the chimney flue. Every time that you start burning wood in the fireplace it is inevitable to have creosote as a by-product of the incomplete burning of wood. Over time soot and creosote build up gets bigger and reduces the amount of space that there is on the inside of the chimney flue. When this happens smoke has trouble escaping up and out of the flue when the fire is burning. This can create another type of problematic situation inside of the home. The pros at chimney sweeping Nashville recommend that you have your chimney swept once a year to remove all of the soot and creosote build up. Letting the build up go for too long can cause some major damage to your chimney and home. Our team has all of the right tools and equipment needed to get the job done right. As many homeowners do not own the right tools needed to sweep a chimney out it is far easier to hire a professional company like ours to do the job for you. Besides that chimney sweeping can be a dirty job to do. The more creosote buildup that there is then the more elbow grease will be required to remove all the grime from the inside of the chimney and fireplace. You can count on our team to do the dirty work for you and make your chimney a safe place to burn wood to keep you warm during the winter. Removing the soot and creosote will improve the efficiency of your fireplace while using it. When you take away all of the junk that has been accumulating on the inside of your chimney it opens up the flue and makes it burn wood more effectively. This is an important part of getting a more complete combustion of the wood burning process. When the pros at chimney sweeping Nashville come to sweep your chimney they also inspect the brick for cracks, make sure that the damper is working properly, and take a look at the chimney cap to make sure that it is on the right way. Sometimes the cap becomes dislodged during heavy storms or gets knocked off by flying debris during a hurricane. This can become a problem in that unwanted animals can make nests inside of your chimney during the off months. So it is best to have a professional take a look at your entire chimney even if you have not been using your fireplace on a regular basis. If your chimney has a fire that gets out of control and ignites the creosote inside of the flue you may not even be aware of it. Fire may be coming out of the chimney cap and you will not know it. Smoke may back up on the inside of your home causing some serious damage to your home's furniture and draperies. Even clothing and other fabrics can become heavily damaged by the smoke. Either way this damage can be very costly to you. In our professional opinion at chimney sweeping Nashville it is far better to spend a little money each and every year having your chimney serviced than taking a chance with disaster. Smoke damage can also be a serious health concern to the inhabitants and fur babies of the home. Those fumes are not your friend. Imagine not having the damper open and starting a fire. All of that smoke would stay inside the fireplace and not go outside and vent through the chimney as it should. Without proper ventilation things can get out of control in a big hurry. This is what it is like when soot and creosote become built up on the inside of the chimney flue. The constriction of compounds becomes a dangerous place for a single floating ember to ignite. Just know that creosote is highly combustible, so why take the chance. You owe to yourself and your family to be smart and to take care of loved ones when you are a homeowner, especially if you are going to be using your fireplace as a heat source or just for ambiance. Your fireplace can continue to be a place of warm family gatherings and happy times throughout the season. Just remember that if it has been a year or more since you have last had it inspected and looked after, then don't start a fire this season until you get it swept out by our professionals again. It is well worth the time and effort versus the unknown hazards of having a fire ignite in the chimney flue.
