Why Clean Your Chimney?

Chimneys and fireplaces are a big responsibility that requires regular maintenance if you continue to use your fireplace.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year. These important spaces are inspected for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances.

Chimney cleaning is needed to remove creosote deposits and other debris from chimneys and vents. Creosote buildup in chimneys can lead to chimney fires and flue blockages. Both of these can seriously threaten the safety of you and your family.

Not only is it in the best interest of your safety, but regularly cleaning your chimney also eliminates bad odors from the fireplace and improves airflow.

Chimney cleaning is an important service to protect the health and safety of your family and home. All chimneys, including the chimney for your furnace, should be inspected annually, with cleaning performed as necessary.
