***Benefits of chimney cleaning***

1- Prevent a chimney fire, a chimney fire is an out-of-control fire that can reach a temperature of over 2,000 degrees. it can damage a chimney and start a house fire.
2- Prevent corrosion of chimney system. Soot and creosote are acid and will deteriorate metal and mortar.
3- Prevent smoke problems. The build up of soot and creosote in a chimney reduces its diameter and restricts its flow capacity.
4- Increase efficiency. The build-up of soot and creosote in a chimney can also affect the optimum draft for efficient heating. In wood stoves, soot and creosote can act as an insulator and restrict the full insulator and restrict the full amount of heat produced from entering the room.
5- Reduce foul odors. Soot and creosote can smell awful, especially in wet weather.
6- Promote better inspections of chimney system. Soot and creosote can cover up cracks and other damage and deterioration in chimney , so it is recommended that a chimney be cleaned in order to do a proper inspection.

What is Creosote?

When you burn wood or fossil fuels, your goal is to burn them as completely as possible. However, if the airflow to your fire isn’t adequate, it essentially starves the fire – leading to incomplete combustion. When the oils in the wood aren’t completely burned, they off-gas as volatiles and travel up through the smoke. The smoke cools as it rises, and ultimately condenses with water and other chemicals on the interior of your chimney and flue. This residue is called creosote.

Why is it Dangerous?

Creosote does a lot more than simply reduce the airflow of your chimney. It’s dangerous to your health and your home: Creosote is Toxic

Exposure to creosote can have a wide-range of effects on your health. While some are simply irritating, other effects can be severe. Here are some of the most common symptoms associated with creosote exposure:

Irritated Skin – If you come into physical contact with creosote, you may notice rashes or other reactions.

Irritated Eyes – Creosote can cause sensitivity to light or even symptoms that mirror chemical burns in your eyes. This risk is why you should always rely on an expert to safely clean your chimney.

Respiratory Issues – Unsurprisingly, if you breathe in creosote particles, you’re very likely to develop respiratory issues over time.

Cancer – Even in homes with poorly maintained chimneys, it’s unlikely that you’ll have enough creosote exposure to lead to cancer. However, studies have shown that creosote is carcinogenic, so long-term exposure is a risk.

It’s Also a Fire Hazard

What is creosote doing in your chimney? Waiting to be burned! Being toxic to your health isn’t the most concerning risk of creosote. It’s also one of the leading causes of chimney fires across the globe. The deposits that are left in your chimney are flammable, and when it ignites it creates a scorching hot fire.

Unfortunately, while you may think of a fireplace or chimney as an appropriate location for a fire, chimney fires are dangerous. The masonry and flue lining are only designed to handle certain levels of heat, and the intense nature of chimney fires exceeds that limit. While no visible damage may be noticeable after your first chimney fire, it weakens your homes ability to withstand a second one. If you have a chimney fire, the chimney lining will be almost certainly damaged beyond repair and in need of replacement. A build up that can create fires, destroy the mortar and joints of your chimney, and even block the natural air flow of your home trapping in odors and dangerous gases. Have your chimney swept and save yourself the worry of having a dangerous and dirty flue. Cyclone Air Systems Inc. 1-888-870-1166. Our Web-site is here: https://www.cycloneairsystems.com.
