All chimney services we provide include a thorough chimney inspection.
Regular chimney inspections greatly reduce the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning in the home, as well as diagnose potential issues before they require costly repairs. During an inspection the technician is looking for obstructions, cracks, absence of a liner, signs of moisture and anything else that would make the chimney unsafe for use.
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends having wood stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and chimney connectors inspected annually by a professional and cleaned as often as the inspection suggests.
Chimney cleanings are an essential part of keeping the system efficient and safe for use. Creosote, a byproduct of burning wood, accumulates in the flue and can cause unpleasant odors, improper drafting and even chimney fires.
Prior to starting the cleaning, the technician will use drop cloths to protect the surfaces in the area around the fireplace. We also use a Triple Hepa Filter Vacuum to make sure no dust or allergens enter the air in your home. The technician will clean the entire system from the fireplace up using industry specific chimney brushes, rods, and other specialized equipment. Every cleaning includes a level 1 NFPA Inspection.
