Does Your Chimney Need To Be Cleaned?
There are several tell-tale signs that let you know you need to have your chimney swept:
* Soot dropping into your fireplace
* A strong odor coming from your fireplace or stove
* An animal infestation in your chimney
* You don’t know the last time your chimney was serviced
* Tar (creosote) build-up
What is Creosote and Why Is It Dangerous?
Creosote is a residue that builds up over time in your chimney. This build-up occurs when the oils from burning wood or other fossil fuels aren’t completely burned, and these oils travel up the chimney through the fire’s smoke. This reacts with the water and other chemicals on the interior of your chimney and produces creosote, or tar build up.
It comes in three different stages. chimney sweep chimney cleaning gas fireplace repair
How Often Should You Have Your Chimney Swept?
Professionals recommend that you have your chimney professionally swept at least once per year. And it's important to use a professional. There are many chimney cleaning companies in the area offering their services for half the going rate. They often send out unqualified personnel who have not received proper training in chimney cleaning and inspection.
So when shopping for a chimney sweep, remember that you get what you pay for.
What Is A Damper And Can An Open One Be Costly?
A damper is typically located just above the firebox in your chimney. It seals your fireplace shut when it’s not in use to prevent heated air from escaping up the chimney when you’re not using the fireplace.
An open damper can cost you hundreds in heating costs. Our chimney experts at Hadley Chimney Sweeps make sure that your existing damper is working properly. They are also equipped to install one if you need it. chimney cleaning gas fireplace repair Dallas Arlington Fort Worth
What Kind of Firewood Should You Use, Seasoned or Unseasoned?
When you are burning firewood, seasoned wood should be your first choice. It is the kind of wood that has, after cutting, been left out in the weather for a long time. It will be gray or dusty in appearance from the outside.
It will however be white and dry on the inside. This is what you want to burn as there aren’t huge amounts of residue that come from the wood to cause chimney blockages. These blockages can cause fires inside of your chimney. chimney sweep chimney cleaning gas fireplace repair Dallas Arlington Fort Worth
