Chimney Sweeping

Chimney Sweeping Service :
This service is vital to the safety of every home. There are 10,000 chimney fires a year in Canada. Sweeping the chimney flues on a regular maintenance program will help prevent Chimney Fires, Carbon Monoxide Danger, and help your appliances to operate more efficiently.


Fireplaces & Woodstoves :
It is necessary to remove flammable creosote that builds up after each fire from your fireplace or woodstove every year. If you use your heating appliance daily as a primary heating source, then it should be cleaned twice a year. Creosote is unburned wood particles that can re-ignite after it gets to 1/8' thick and heat transfers to this area.


Oil Fuel Flues :
Furnaces & water heaters are used year round to provide heat for the house or to heat hot water. Oil soot or tar droplets can collect 2-4 inches a year below the furnace connector drop off. This could eventually plug the opening on the connector pipe and cause Carbon Monoxide fumes to return back into the basement and vent into the house. It could also cause a puff back of oil soot through the furnace and soot the entire house. The flue walls of the chimney can also become reduced in size from this oil soot build up which could produce ventilation problems or worse yet, a chimney fire fuelled by oil. This flue should be cleaned out and inspected every year to remove any soot.
