Why is Chimney Cleaning So Important?
When you burn wood, a byproduct called creosote forms. Creosote is a highly flammable substance that sticks to the inside of your chimney. Over time, it builds up, creating a serious fire hazard. A chimney sweep in Putnam County removes this creosote, reducing the risk of chimney fires.
But it’s not just about fire safety. A clean chimney also allows for better airflow, which means your fireplace will burn more efficiently, saving you money on heating costs. Plus, a clean chimney reduces the risk of carbon monoxide buildup, protecting your family from harmful fumes.
