When Does Your Chimney Need Cleaning?
Although, each use of a fireplace causes the deposit of combustible by-products in the chimney lining. Creosote and soot are among the negative effects resulting from each use. Creosote is typically used as a preservative and is an oily tar residue. Soot is typically a black powdery or flaky substance consisting of carbon. However, when combined, creosote and soot are known to form flammable deposits in chimney lining. However, if hot embers were to come in to contact with these deposits, the result can be a dangerous chimney fire. Even so, over 25,000 US chimney fires that spread into house fires were traced to built-up creosote.
MMI Home Improvement Pro Chimney Cleaning Increases Efficiency
The flammable, creosote and soot deposits not only create a fire hazard but also create stoppages. You should know the limitations arise in the efficiency of combustible gases upward and out of the chimney when this occurs. Gases need to be directed outside to prevent the release of dangerous, combustible gases back into the home.
Moreover, fumes from a single lighting could conclusively contain carbon monoxide which can cause sudden illness and death. Blockages do not have to occur from these materials alone. If you use your chimney infrequently, materials from bird and critter nests can collect and block the chimney. However, Twigs, leaves, pine cones, and branches are all materials that can gather together and form a chimney obstruction.
Annual chimney cleaning is necessary to ensure the proper and safe functioning of your chimney. The MMI team understands that consumer’s needs and requirements continuously change. Therefore, we’re always updated with the latest evolving technology, equipment, and techniques.
Undoubtedly, MMI technicians are able to ensure the efficiency of your chimney and heating ventilation systems. Keep your ventilation structure working effectively, efficiently, and safely by hiring a professional company servicing the cities of Alpharetta, Cumming, Suwanee, Norcross, Roswell, Smyrna, Marietta, and Duluth.
The Hidden Dangers Involved in Chimney Fires
The underlying structure of the chimney itself can experience premature failure if not maintained. Mortar joints can be damaged causing cracks contributing to small chimney fires. However, these “small” fires cause carbon monoxide to leak inside the home. Once a “small” fire creates cracks and loose mortar joints, the next fire has a more simple route to reach the roof timbers and other combustible materials.
Carbon Monoxide: The Silent Foe
Carbon monoxide is both odorless and colorless making it very difficult to detect. Therefore, Its effects often strike victims off guard and in their sleep. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 400 people in the U.S. die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning every year. More than 20,000 visit the emergency room, and more than 4,000 others are hospitalized. Even small doses can produce negative effects.
How We Clean Your Chimney

Why Have Your Chimney Inspected and Cleaned?
The deposits of acidic, combustible material cause the weakening of masonry and premature deterioration of metal chimneys. Manufacturers create these materials containing creosote and soot with normal usage of your fireplace and can combine with other natural sources of blockage for your chimney. High winds and driving rain can damage chimneys as well, so an inspection and professionals recommend of complete cleaning at least annually to prevent chimney failure.
However, In some cases, sweeping more than once a year is necessary. Speak with a professional from MMI and schedule your service today at 470-445-1535.
