MECHANICAL
CHIMNEY CLEANING |
|
It is only after
the flaky creosote is removed (during the standard fireplace
cleaning) that  glazing
can be detected. Glazing develops when flaky creosote
becomes baked on and requires the use of specialized equipment
for it's removal. Creosote is flammable and the risk of a
chimney fire is present. If this creosote is ignited, the
intensity of the heat can crack the tile liner
and flames pose a fire hazard to the home.

FURNACE
FLUE CLEANING |
|
Furnace flue standard cleaning
includes the brushing of the water heater and the furnace flue pipes and a
visual inspection. The certified chimney technician checks the condition
of the flue pipes for softening and deterioration as well as for the
presence of nesting, or other debris. He takes the pipes apart, runs the
special brushes through, and when finished, he puts the furnace and water
heater pipes back into their original position. |

BLOCKAGE
REMOVAL |
|
Blockage removal from the
fireplace or furnace flue is most often associated with the lack of a protective chimney cover on the top of the chimney.
Early Times
Chimney Sweeps
recommends the installation
of protective chimney covers on all flue openings to prevent entry of animals
(raccoons, squirrels, birds,) twigs, leaves and nesting materials. |
