Benefits of Annual Chimney Service
You must have your chimney professionally cleaned and checked every year. This is a necessary part of keeping your property safe and maintained.
- Prevent Chimney Fires: The most critical benefit is the removal of creosote, a highly flammable residue from wood burning. Sweeping eliminates this buildup, drastically reducing your risk of a chimney fire.
- Protect Against Carbon Monoxide: Blockages can form from soot, dirt, or animal nests. This keeps smoke and dangerous gases, like carbon monoxide (CO), from leaving your property. Cleaning the chimney makes sure the vent is clear for safe exhaust.
- Improve Efficiency and Airflow: A clean chimney helps the fire burn better. This is called a better draft. It creates more heat while using less fuel. It also stops smoke from entering your property.
- Catch Costly Repairs Early: A professional inspection can find small cracks in the chimney lining. It can also spot bad mortar or a broken top. Fixing these early stops big, expensive repairs and prevents water damage to your property.
Our Precision Chimney Service Process
We offer a full service that includes two important parts. We provide a thorough cleaning along with an expert inspection and any needed repair work.
Professional Chimney Sweep
- Prep and Containment: We cover the area around your fireplace to keep your property clean. We use strong vacuums with filters to make sure there is no soot during the process.
- Mechanical Cleaning: We use the right size brushes and special tools to clean your chimney. We remove all the soot and creosote from the inside walls. This ensures the passage is clear and safe.
- Firebox and Damper Cleaning: We clean the inside area where you build the fire. We also clean the grate and the smoke shelf. We check the damper to make sure it opens and closes correctly, and adjust it if necessary.
Comprehensive Chimney Inspection & Repair
- Flue Liner Examination: We inspect the liner inside the chimney. We check for cracks, holes, or damage. The liner is essential for containing the heat and keeping the chimney structure safe.
- Crown & Cap Assessment: We check the top of the chimney, called the crown. We look for cracks that let water leak in. We also make sure the rain cap and animal screen are securely in place and working correctly.
- Exterior Masonry Check: We examine the brick and mortar that you can see. We look for flaking bricks, leaning, or separation from the property. This helps us find problems like a sinking foundation or water damage.
- Expert Repair Solutions: Our repair services address all common issues, including:
-
- Re-pointing (replacing deteriorated mortar joints)
- Chimney Crown repair or replacement
- Flue liner repair (using specialized resurfacing compounds) or replacement
- Chimney rebuilding (partial or full masonry restoration)
