CHIMNEY SWEEPINGS
If you have a wood-burning fireplace, one of the most important reasons to have your chimney swept at least once a year is get the excess creosote removed from your flue. Creosote is developed naturally during combustion, it is extremely flammable, as the CSIA named it a leading cause of chimney fires. It can also create quite the stink during the summer.
When our experts come to sweep your chimney, we can thoroughly get rid of all the creosote buildup inside your chimney to avoid unpleasant odors and fire hazards. Although creosote is not a problem for gas fireplaces, you will still need it to be serviced yearly. All of our chimney technicians are NFI-Gas Specialists, so you will be in excellent hands no matter the fuel type of your fireplace.
CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS
According to the CSIA and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), you need get your chimney inspected before you light the first fire each year to ensure safety. When our professionals inspect your chimney, we also look to ensure nothing is blocking your flue so there’s no risk of carbon monoxide leak into your home.
We check both the interior and the exterior of your chimney for damage that could lead to water leaks, structural problems, or any other issues. If we find any potential problems, we provide you with a written explanation along with photos of the damage and an honest estimate of the repairs needed for your chimney to work efficiently and safely.
