Fireplace Safety–Public Service Announcement
0 Comments | Posted by admin in From The Inspector
Cold weather is upon us and many are firing up the yuletide logs and toasting their toes. Make sure that’s all you toast by having your fireplace flue professionally cleaned each year. Creosote build-up, rusted flues, restricted air flow, and many other problems can mean disaster for you and your family. Call your local chimney sweep now to schedule your annual fireplace inspection.
When buying firewood, be sure to buy seasoned wood or if you buy green wood, let it season a year outside to reduce the amount of creosote and don’t burn wet wood!
