Why Should You Have Your Chimney Cleaned?
Chimney SweepingThe main reason you should have your chimney cleaned is to remove flammable creosote which accumulates inside your chimney. If these harmful deposits of soot and creosote are allowed to build up, they will eventually lead to a chimney fire.
Don’t forget our furnace flue – Another important reason to have your chimney cleaned is to clear the flue to allow the toxic exhaust gasses to escape. Blocked furnace flue is among the leading causes of carbon monoxide poisonings.
Our Sweeps will clean your chimney flue from the “bottom –up” – the modern and most recommended procedure for efficiently cleaning a chimney flue. Once the flue has been cleaned, our sweeps will inspect your chimney from the ground-up and provide you with a written record of service which will state the current condition of your chimney.
