Chimney Service

Chimney sweeping may sound like a simple process, yet it is a very detailed and important task and should be done by a properly trained expert. Having a professional chimney sweep clean and inspect your chimney annually is the key to maintaining your chimney and fireplace, and protecting your home and valuables.

When your fireplace is in use, your chimney is working hard to keep all of the very hot, harmful gasses contained so they can be vented out properly. Over time, debris such as creosote (a residue that can result from unburned flue gasses), can settle on the lining of your chimney. Creosote is highly flammable, capable of exploding and burning at nearly 2,000 degrees, putting your chimney under very high strain. A well trained chimney sweep will be on the lookout for such build ups, and can carefully remove these blockages, allowing for safe burning.

The National Fire Protection Agency says that chimneys should be inspected annually and cleaned as needed. This will help to ensure your safety and the long term structural stability of your home.
