At Brushers Chimneys, we know the importance of keeping your chimney in good condition. Below are some of the services we provide to maintain the stability and safety of your home’s chimney.
Chimney cleaning, also known as chimney sweeping, is the process of removing any soot or creosote build-up from the chimney flue, smoke chamber, and grate. The chimney sweeper will use a combination of different brushes inside a hollow plastic tube. After the brushes remove soot and creosote buildup, the sweeper will vacuum the chimney as well.
Cleaning out your chimney on a regular basis will help prevent any blockages. It also works to restrict a fire’s air supply, which reduces the risk of a chimney fire.
Creosote is the black, tar-like substance that accumulates inside a chimney when wood is burned. If creosote isn’t removed regularly, it can eventually harden even further and block the chimney, just like clogged arteries can cause a heart attack or stroke. Creosote buildup can create a dangerous situation where a fire cannot escape.
Removing creosote involves physically removing the trapped ash and combustibles out of your chimney, through the use of specialized equipment and harsh chemicals that help to break it down.
Another way to remove creosote is to treat the chimney with a chemical solution to break down the creosote and prevent residue from forming in the future. This treatment is ideal for homeowners who regularly use their fireplaces, since it prevents creosote from building up and reduces the risk of chimney fires.
Animals like birds, squirrels, and even raccoons can build their nests in chimneys. These nests create blockages that can compromise airflow and ventilation and can potentially turn into major hazards. Chimney nest and animal removal requires us to safely extract the nest from the airway and remove any animal if necessary without harming it. We can also install a chimney cap or screen to prevent animals from accessing your chimney in the future.
Over time, the chimney’s external bricks can be discolored by dirt, moss, and pollution. This isn’t good for the chimney and can cause the bricks to degrade. With chimney brick power washing, a high-powered jet of water removes any contaminants and restores the look of the chimney. A sealant is then applied over the bricks to prevent moisture penetration, preserving the bricks and prolonging the chimney’s life.
