30 years ago, we were known as Blackwell’s Chimney Sweep Service. But a lot has changed for us since then. Blackwell’s has deep roots in confined space cleanings.
Back then, when the chimney sweeping period slowed, we needed something to do to stay busy, so we started doing pressure washing to supplement our work.
Cleaning ductwork |
We had the good fortune to apply what we learned from sweeping chimneys and pressure washing and started doing industrial cleaning, especially cleaning industrial ductwork.
Chimneys and ductwork have at least one thing in common . . . they can be tight places to work. In today’s arena, chimneys and ductwork, along with storage tanks, bins, vats, silos, ovens, and a whole host of others, are known as confined spaces.
Entering a 100 ft. tall silo for cleaning |
Workplaces are often considered “confined” because their construction design has limited openings for entry or exit, unfavorable natural ventilation, or the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere.
Inside an industrial oven |
Sometimes, and even though it can be a tight and dangerous place to have to work, confined spaces have to be cleaned or repaired, and special skills are needed to enter these places.
We are OSHA certified which means we have the skills, training, and safety equipment to go where others can’t. We are trained in the operation of personnel lift equipment and fall protection and we put these skills to use in our confined spaces work. Trust Blackwell’s for your confined space cleanings – chimneys, ductwork, storage tanks, bins, vats, silos, ovens, and more.
Confined spaces are aptly named that for a good reason . . . there is no room for error.
