Wood Stove Inspections Vancouver WA
Wood Stove Inspections Vancouver, WA
Wood burning stoves offer a deep, comfortable warmth to any home, but they must be maintained to be safe. A wood-tar substance called creosote is the buy-product of burning wood. It builds up in the stove, the pipe, and the chimney and can catch fire. The stickiness of the substance keeps the fire burning hot in the chimney which then heats up and can spread fire to the surrounding walls. When creosote is expelled through the top of the chimney it can land on roofing materials. It is important to get your stove inspected to ensure this hazard is not lurking in your home.
A Your Town Chimney offers detailed stove inspections for homeowners and realtors. We ensure the stove is up to code, is a safe distance from combustible materials, and is clean enough for use.
