Chimney Cleaning

Creosote is a natural by-product of woodburning, primarily due to incomplete combustion.  Creosote is a sticky dust-like residue, vented through the chimney along with smoke and other gases.  It sticks to the walls of the flue and can build up to a dangerous level.  Creosote is highly flammable and can be ignited by something as simple as burning a few pieces of paper.  This is commonly referred to as a chimney fire or flue fire and can damage the flue and spread quickly to the rest of your home.

Although removing creosote is critical to the safe operation of your fireplace or woodstove, of even greater importance is a thorough safety inspection.  The entire chimney is examined for cracks in the flue or mortar joints.  A written report is prepared explaining the condition of critical components and suggestions regarding usage and improving the safe, efficient operation of the entire system.
