What’s the function for your chimney?

The chimney allows for ventilation of your furnace, stove incinerator or fireplace, which ensures that the products of combustion generated by these appliances aren’t circulating back into your business or home. Combustion products include dangerous and toxic gases like sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and soot or smoke. If these gases escape into your business or home they could cause various health and safety issues.

How often do you need to get your chimney checked?

There are around about 25,000 chimney fires per annually in the United States, causing upwards of $125 million in property damage, and sometimes , even injuries or other tragedies. One of the most frequent reasons for chimney fires the buildup of creosote. Creosote can be a byproduct from wood combustion that accumulates within your chimney. It’s actually made up of soot, tar along with the carbonaceous compound called creosote. However, the mix of these three chemicals is commonly called “creosote.” Its potential for flammability of creosote is the reason it is advised to have your chimney cleaned at least twice a year when burning bituminous housed coal, and at least once a year for non-smokeless fuels.
