Chimney Sweeping

Why Have Your Chimney Swept?

It is important that your chimney be clear so your fireplace or stove can fully exhaust to the outside, and to facilitate drawing combustion air into your appliance. A clean chimney helps protect your family and home from adverse effects of the combustion products including heat, gases, moisture and creosote.

Creosote can burn at temperatures up to 2900 degrees Fahrenheit. Sweeping removes this dangerous material so that the chimney has no fuel in it that could ignite.

Sometimes chimney fires sound like a freight train. However, chimney fires can also smolder and go unnoticed until it's too late. A chimney fire can cause irreparable damage to the chimney. Or worse, the fire can spread to the home.

Sweeping clears out other combustibles like bird's nests, making your home and family safer.
