Why you need professionals to clean your chimney

Chimney is a kind of vertical tube like structure built as ventilation where the gasses, chemicals, smokes pass through to the atmosphere. Chimneys are found at places where there is some burning activity is going on. We can see chimneys on the top of a building, ships, hotel kitchens, home kitchens, factories so on and so forth.

Chimneys run from few feet to some meters in length based on the kind of smoke going through the channel. For example the length of chimney of a cloth manufacturing factory will be more as compared to the chimney of a hotel or a house kitchen, this is because, the smoke coming out of a cloth manufacturing factory will be mixed with dangerous chemicals that could cause serious problems to the immediate surroundings and to avoid it they are kept very high. Whereas through the chimney of a house only smokes of cooking passes which is not hazardous to health and therefore they are kept in size so that the smoke is just thrown out of the building and avoids the congestion at home.

Cleaning and maintaining of these chimneys should be done along with your house cleaning service on regular basis or as and when required. The national fire protection association standard 211 says ‘’n Chimneys, fire places shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits and correct clearance. Cleaning, maintenance and repairs shall be done if necessary’’.

In cold countries chimneys are a must at home for they burn wood to keep house warm so that they can avoid chilling cold.
