Why Choose Professional Smoke Stain Removal Services?
If your fireplace isn’t looking its best, you may be wondering if professional help is actually needed – or if some good old fashioned elbow grease could do the trick. When it comes to this focal point in your home, we really recommend hiring a professional for any upkeep, cosmetic or not. Here’s why:
- We understand fireplace materials and how to best treat them without causing any damage in the process.
- We have products that will do the job thoroughly without altering the appearance of your fireplace facing.
- Our experts have tools and techniques to avoid a lengthy and tiring cleaning process – one that would leave you sore and short on free time if you were to attempt the job yourself.
- We can keep an open eye for any other problems that may be occurring – or issues that may make smoke stains a common issue for you.
- DIY methods that use incorrect products or tools can cause costly damages that require repair.
Remember that fireplaces are constructed from various materials, including brick, stone, tile, and marble. Each requires a unique approach to cleaning…and using the wrong method can lead to surface scratches, discoloration, or even permanent damage.
In addition, smoke stains can sometimes indicate deeper issues, such as poor ventilation, a malfunctioning damper, or a buildup of creosote within the chimney that could pose a fire hazard. Our experts can inspect your fireplace for potential issues that may be causing smoke stains to develop. Identifying these problems early can prevent further damage and help maintain your fireplace in the long term, ensuring it functions safely and efficiently.
How Can I Prevent Fireplace Smoke Stains From Occurring in the Future?
Once our experts have gotten things looking like new again, how can you ensure smoke doesn’t wreak havoc again down the line?
- Book regular sweeping and cleaning services. Schedule regular cleanings and annual inspections for your chimney and fireplace. Soot and creosote build-up can cause smoke to escape into your home, leading to stains.
- Make sure you’re fueling properly. Always use seasoned hardwood that has been dried for at least six months. Wet (or unseasoned) wood produces more smoke and soot, as does burning trash, cardboard, treated wood, etc.
- Check your damper before lighting fires. Make sure your damper is open and functioning properly before starting a fire. A blocked or partially closed flue can cause smoke to back up into the room.
- Maintain good draft and airflow. Does your fireplace have adequate airflow? Insufficient oxygen can lead to incomplete combustion, creating more smoke. Ask our experts what adjustments might be made to increase air circulation.
- Burn hotter and faster fires. Build smaller, hotter fires instead of large, smoldering ones. A hot fire produces less smoke and burns cleaner. As an added bonus, it encourages less creosote buildup too.
- Consider upgrading an inefficient fireplace. Consider installing a fireplace insert into an inefficient or drafty fireplace. These are designed to improve efficiency and reduce emissions, and they can significantly decrease the amount of smoke produced by your fires.
- Avoid burning paper or trash. Refrain from burning paper, plastic, or other materials that produce excessive smoke and soot. Stick to using appropriate fireplace fuel.
By implementing these practices, you can help prevent smoke stains and enjoy a cleaner, safer fireplace experience.
