Just Clean by Alfred Redwert

Chimney, a structure that provides ventilation for hot flue gases or smoke from a boiler, stove, or fireplace to the outside atmosphere, is a very common need for any household. It operates on the scientific principle which states that hot air rises above (it is less dense than cold air). Therefore, when a chimney is filled with hot gas, the gas tends to rise because it is less dense and lighter than air outside the house. Thus, remove unwanted particles and smoke out of your house. With task so important that it executes, it is required that you also perform regular maintenance and cleaning of your house in Craughwell region.

Why should you clean your chimneys?

Chimney liners or structural problems can allow embers and cinders to escape the chimney and fly to combustible areas in walls, roofs or attics of your home which can lead to fire. A common cause of such fires is creosote inside the chimney that catches fire and burns inside the chimney.

This creosote is the result of incomplete combustion of wood producing by-product that travel up the chimney in the form of smoke, some going out into the atmosphere and the rest collect on the inside of the chimney when the gases cool as "creosote".

The general normal temperature inside a chimney, when exhaust wood smoke, is about 300 to 500 degrees. However, when dangerous levels of creosote, as small as 1/8 inch, build up in the flue and a chimney fire occurs, this temperature can increase up to 1500-2000 degrees. This dangerously high temperature can cause flue liners to crack or shatter, metal chimney liners to buckle or split open, and the thermal shock created by the instant jump in temperature can blow bricks out of a chimney.

With the operability of the chimney compromised there is a chance that your home could catch on fire. So, what you need is to have your chimneys cleaned to prevent a chimney fire and damage to your chimney or home.
