We all know how comforting it is to sit by the fireplace when it's cold. When the snow falls outside, gathering around the fire with a steaming mug warms not only the body but also the heart. As a couple, a family or alone, watching the flames dance in the stove brings well-being and serenity. However, all this magic can be lost very quickly. Nearly 1,200 chimney fires occur in Quebec every year. In order to avoid such a catastrophe for you and your family, an annual chimney cleaning is essential. This is our reason for being at Ramoneur Magog. Be aware of the requirements of your insurer and your municipality regarding the cleaning of your chimney. To comply with them and make an appointment with us to ensure a complete cleaning, contact us now at 819-201-6688.

Chimney sweeping, only for wood heating?

People who have just bought a new stove often ask us if chimney sweeping is only for wood heating. It is true that creosote accumulation occurs mostly in the chimneys of those who have a wood-burning appliance. If you are a heavy user of this type of heating and you burn 10 cords of wood or more each winter, we strongly recommend that you have your chimney swept twice a year. Do you heat with pellets or oil? It is likely that only one sweep in a year is appropriate. However, if you heat with natural gas, there is no need to clean your chimney because this method of combustion does not cause creosote to accumulate, unless the manufacturer of your stove gives you other information. Creosote is much easier to remove at the end of winter, so it is best to have your chimney cleaned in the spring.

Common problems encountered ​

Creosote accumulation  

Creosote accumulation in a chimney in Magog.
Most of the time, customers contact us because of creosote accumulation in their chimney. You may be wondering what exactly creosote is? Creosote is small drops of tar that accumulate on the walls of the flue. There are several reasons why this substance may end up in your chimney. First, the quality of your heating system has a major influence on creosote formation. In most cases, a newer appliance will cause less accumulation than an older one. In addition, the quality of the installation of your stove has a great influence on the fouling of the flue. The type of wood that is used also has a significant impact on creosote accumulation.

Bird's nest

Want another reason for a spring cleaning? It is not uncommon to find that a bird has made its nest in a chimney. These winged creatures are indeed fond of this place, as it protects them from the weather and their predators. Letting a bird build its nest in a chimney may seem harmless or improbable. However, we see this phenomenon very often. We are able to remedy this unfortunate situation. As suggested, if you contact us in the spring, it is unlikely that you will find a nest inside your chimney. However, when the first cold weather arrives, it is advisable to check before your first fire if your chimney has been selected for a nest, using a small mirror. This simple precaution will save you from many unpleasant surprises.

Improperly installed equipment

Installing a heating system is not as easy as it sounds. Simple mistakes can prevent you from enjoying an efficient heating system. You should know that it is not always wise to install your own equipment. In fact, certain knowledge is required to achieve a satisfactory result. Major work may be required if essential precautions are forgotten, for example if the stove is not sufficiently clear of the walls. Sometimes it is only minor work that needs to be done. Like replacing a 90 degree elbow with a 45 degree elbow, for example, so that the smoke can escape more easily from the flue. With our experience, we are able to direct you to the resources that are appropriate for your needs, should such an unfortunate situation arise, in order to correct it with care. In the meantime, remember that doing business with a professional instead of installing it yourself is a guarantee of safety and peace of mind.

Defective equipment

If we find a problem with your heating system, we will notify you and inform you of the procedure to follow. For example, your stove or chimney may need to be repaired, or masonry work may be required. It is even a duty of our rowers to inform you, to ensure your safety. No matter what the situation is, Ramoneur Magog will help you and, if necessary, we will refer you to a qualified professional, such as a mason or a roofer, in the event that it is not our responsibility.

We also have specialized equipment that prevents you from having to breathe in toxic dust. This is because the smoke from your stove is very harmful to your health. Highly harmful elements are found inside, such as nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and other highly irritating organic particles. Breathing these can be very harmful to your health. When you sweep the chimney, thin particles are released into the air and can be inhaled. Without equipment, you are putting your health at risk.
