Importance of cleaning your industry chimney

As per the statistics taken by the Chimney Safety Institute of America, every year over 22,000 chimney and fireplace-related fires happen and losses of more than $97 million and 20 fatalities end up in these events. All these can be avoided with the right industrial chimney services.

Since a chimney is a passage that allows smoke and heat to pass through outside the factory, you have to make sure that such a chimney is safe and congestion-free against harmful pollutants.

Reasons to have regular inspection and maintenance of chimneys

• After a long period of use, creosote, a byproduct of smoke burning, gets accumulated on the chimney's surface. 

• You may get penalized by pollution control boards if you don’t properly maintain the chimney 

• Rust and deterioration may lead to holes and cracks in the chimneys which in the endcan be prone to chemical attacks from the emitted flue gases.

What happens if there is no regular maintenance of chimneys?

It doesn’t matter what kind of chimney you have, proper maintenance and inspection are necessary. You can get the support of an industrial chimney painting company and carry out the work in a successful manner.

• If you continue to use the chimney without cleaning and maintenance, the flue invites outside debris.

• Factory’s harmful byproducts may make the chimney thin and may lead to the possibility of fire and leaks.

• Improperly cleaned  chimneys will have flue obstructions such as leaves and twigs from around trees, which may block the passage

• If there are obstructions, it leads to a sluggish flow of smoke and allows deadly carbon monoxide into the industry.

Although proper chimney cleaning is vital, it shouldn't be done by an amateur person. Leave the work to specialists at Glasshoppers
