Furnace Chimney & Fireplace Chimney Cleaning – Denver & Boulder, Colorado

Roughly 5,500 house fires each year are caused by fires in a home fireplace chimney. The culprit in most chimney fires is usually creosote – a chemical substance formed by burning wood. Creosote builds up inside the chimney and is a highly flammable substance that can easily ignite and cause a fire. Fire experts recommend chimney cleaning after every 50 fires or so.

Creosote and soot builds up over time on the interior walls of your chimney, obstructing the draft needed by the furnace or fireplace. The result is increased risk of a chimney fire. When a chimney fire happens, dangerous amounts of smoke and carbon monoxide can back up into the house, creating a potentially deadly hazard for residents. During a chimney fire temperatures inside the chimney often exceed 2000 degrees, which can destroy your chimney and may set the house on fire. Residential Duct Cleaning has the expertise and equipment to do a safe and thorough cleaning of your fireplace chimney.

Fireplace Maintenance Tips

Have your fireplace inspected once a year – A professional will check the fan, pilots and burners, proper ignition and combustion, venting, and chimney draw. Any potential fire hazard can be found early, preventing a disastrous house fire.
Clear chimney obstructions – Birds and squirrels are known for building nests inside chimneys. When the air flow inside chimney is blocked, there’s a risk of carbon monoxide build-up or even a house fire.
Have chimneys cleaned regularly – To avoid dangerous chimney fires, have your chimney and fireplace cleaned at least once a year.
Never leave your fire unattended – Before removing ashes from the firebox, open the damper, which will draw any flying ash up and not out into the room.
Use a non-flammable rug in front of the fireplace – The rug will prevent sparks that may escape from the fireplace from igniting a carpet or wooden.
