Here are a few good reasons to have your chimney cleaned.
Comply with Home Insurance
Most House Insurance Policies expect you to have your chimney swept at least once a year. We handle this requirement for you not only by cleaning your chimney, but also by calling you when your chimney is due for its annual clean. We take the worry out of chimney safety by reminding you when your chimney needs sweeping.
Prevent House Fires
The top few feet of the chimney is where soot, creosote and clinker deposits build up from the top of the chimney and slowly extend down the flue. One single ember or spark has the potential to start a chimney fire if it travels up and meets the creosote. A chimney fire can quickly spread to the interior of your home and prove catastrophic.
Identify Potential Problems
The chimney and fireplace or wood burning stove work together as a single appliance. All appliances require maintenance from time to time and the chimney and fireplace are no exception. A chimney sweep can identify potential problems like cracked flue tiles or other interior damage and repair them before they become a very costly problem. The best chimney sweeps look for signs of future problems and make recommendations. Doing so often results in lower repair costs. It is always cheaper to address minor chimney issues before they turn into major repair needs.
