Colorado Springs Professional Chimney Sweep & Cleaning ServicesWith the long and cold winters here in Colorado Springs and throughout El Paso County, CO, having a certified chimney sweep perform annual cleaning is the best way to keep your home and family safe while using the fireplace or heating stove.
The stunning flames in the fireplace or heating stove are attractive to look at and a source of comfort on a snowy day. However, when you burn wood in the fireplace or heating stove, the combustion process creates various naturally occurring substances, including creosote.
This initially powdery substance, comprised mainly of carbon and tar, clings to the flue and other areas inside the chimney. Over time, it hardens into a dark, tarry, and very flammable material that is challenging to remove without a sweep professional. Also, as you burn wood throughout the winter, the creosote continues to build up. Thus, increasing the risk of fire and exposure to carbon monoxide and other harmful contaminants. Our chimney sweep professionals have the tools and supplies to safely remove hardened creosote in the flue without damaging the chimney.
While enjoying those family cookouts, hiking around Pikes Peak, and other summer outdoor adventures throughout the Colorado Springs valley area, your chimney may have been collecting leaves, twigs, and other debris. Also, bats, moles, snakes, skunks, and even an occasional porcupine have been found inside chimneys. This wildlife squeezes through a damaged or missing chimney cap or gaps in the masonry.
They make a mess in the chimney, and the nests they build are combustible, making them a fire hazard. Foreign objects in the flue are dangerous. It restricts the venting of smoke and poisonous carbon monoxide fumes, which can cause a sudden backdraft that fills your home with smoke, hot debris, and toxic fumes. When you hire FlameMaster® as your chimney sweep, our specially trained technicians thoroughly clean the entire chimney. It reduces fire and safety hazards, improving indoor air quality.
