Fireplace Chimney Cleaning
Fireplace Chimney Cleaning
Fireplace chimney cleaning needs to be done from time to time. Chimney cleaning is important because it can reduce the risk of a chimney fire. A chimney fire is caused by a buildup of creosote in the chimney flu. Creosote is highly flammable and is produced by wood when it is not burned at the proper temperature. If you have had a chimney fire, you should have your chimney flu examined by a professional before using the fireplace again. To clean the chimney flu, a chimney brush is needed. A chimney brush is a steel wire brush that is pushed up and down the chimney flu, cleaning the walls of the chimney flu. A chimney brush rod is attached to the end of the brush in order for the user to reach from the top to the bottom of the chimney.
