Chimney Cleaning

Over time, chimneys can form a lot of harmful compounds such as creosote. Not only are these compounds flammable, but they also render your chimney and fireplace a highly risky heating option. However, with BGreen at work, you can say goodbye to creosote and all such compounds!

When was the last time you had your chimney cleaned?

Regular chimney cleanings can help avoid house and chimney fires as well as carbon monoxide poisoning in your home, apartment building, or condo.

Heating systems can be risky if the chimney is not properly maintained since they frequently start fires or emit hazardous fumes into your home that can result in significant harm, disease, or even death. A chimney specialist must clean the tar and soot that have accumulated in your chimney as a result of burning fuel and wood. Modern heating appliances are more effective than ever, but the excess condensation they produce cause more clogged chimneys than ever before, therefore it’s crucial that every household have an annual chimney inspection. As a result, many brand-new homes have a significant problem with chimney deterioration.

The Silent Killer: Carbon Monoxide

Because it cannot be easily noticed, carbon monoxide is particularly harmful. The signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are sometimes confused with more serious conditions like depression, lethargy, headaches, nausea, and more. These days, carbon monoxide detectors are widely accessible, and every house needs at least two of them: one near the furnace and one close to the bedroom. Detectors are NOT a replacement for routine chimney maintenance, although they may come in handy if issues arise. Poor ventilation is the primary cause of carbon monoxide issues, and blocked chimneys are one of the biggest single sources of the gas in homes.

Creosote and soot buildup risks

Byproducts of combustion from burning wood move up the chimney and away from the fire. Condensation happens because the chimney is colder than the fire. This implies that the residue known as creosote that adheres to the inside of your chimney is made up of soot and tar. Due to its high flammability, creosote can catch fire and result in dangerous chimney fires if it is not frequently cleansed.

Chimney Fires

The chimney fire may not first be noticed when creosote in your chimney catches fire. When a fire breaks out, it may produce enough smoke and noise to draw attention. However, other fires may burn so slowly and at such high temperatures that they silently harm the chimney and nearby structures or may unexpectedly ignite other parts of the house. Most of the time, expert chimney cleanings on a regular basis can stop these fires.

House Fires

One of the main starters of house fires around the country are wood-burning fireplaces and stoves. These fires are typically the result of either faulty chimney maintenance or improper installation of heating units. Of course, some flames leave the entire house in ruins, but even little house fires leave behind damage and a stench that lasts for years.
