Chimneys serve to vent combustion by-products from fireplaces or appliances. Since this goes on behind the scenes, problems that arise within your chimney often go undetected until they reach crisis proportion. Proper cleaning and maintenance is necessary to keep your chimney functioning as it should. As well, you can have peace of mind knowing your family is safe and warm. When wood burns, it creates smoke. This smoke creates soot and tar on the inside of the chimney. The tar, called creosote, can become flammable when it builds up. The purpose of sweeping the chimney is to get the creosote buildup out of the chimney so that it vents properly and most importantly, a chimney fire is prevented. If you are using your fireplace or wood stove once or twice a week in the winter, it is essential that you get the chimney cleaned every year. Our chimney sweeps are very thorough and our process is very clean. We use custom-designed brushes (much larger than a standard chimney brush) along with interlocking fiberglass poles and clean your chimney from the fireplace to the cap with no mess. Our prices for cleaning are very competitive and we’ll be able to quote you on the phone. And you won’t have to worry about any hidden fees.
