Product Description

Chimney Sweeping to Prevent Fire

Some of the main contributors to a fire in a chimney or fireplace come from not having the chimney cleaned by a chimney sweep on a regular basis. This causes creosote and soot to build up and that is what causes the fire. Creosote is a heavy layer that builds up in your chimney that has bits of unburned material caught in it. If it gets warm enough, it can burst into flames and start a fire from the heat those flames produce. Its a chain reaction that happens much too often and creates serious tragedy. Not to mention increased home insurance payments!

Another reason for fire can be due to not having the chimney re-lined. After we use a pressure wash to remove buildup from the fireplace, we can finish the dustless cleaning process we can also add a new damper plate. Your chimney should especially be cleaned every year or more if you use wood or coal in fireplace. Don't try to do it yourself! After all, there may be a problem for roof access even with the best of ladders.
Weird Stuff in the Chimney

Other chimney sweep services we offer are to prevent water from coming in and also remove all kinds of strange things that wind up in your chimney. If you have Santa Claus stuck in your chimney, we're sorry but you will need to call someone else! But if you have a dead bird problem in your chimney, we can help you with that. We can also remove all kinds of insects nests like wasps, hornets, dirt daubers and bees. We can relocate those guys somewhere else they will be happier or remove them altogether. We can also offer services to remove the squirrels nest that appeared over the summer. Whatever it takes to keep your chimney free and clear!
Fireplaces and Non-Wood Stoves
Many people assume that if they aren't burning wood, then they have no reason to get their chimney cleaned. They may be confused by advertising on the fuel source that says something about it being clean burning. What they are not considering is that there may be debris in the chimney for other fuel particles to form on top of as well as general chimney maintenance.

You may also need help with a cast iron stove install, gas stove install or having your flues cleaned and repaired. We're here to help put you in touch with the right metal workers, and stone masons. We'll make sure that you are safe and ready to go. We'll also make sure your floors can support the weight correctly. Sometimes a problem is just practical and involves replacing a crumbling fireplace. More often than not, it is a more serious problem like a waterproofing issue.
