The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted parts of a home. Your chimney tends to not receive the attention or the concern usually afforded other alarming household systems. Chimneys perform several imperitive functions & their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements. Leaky or deteriorated flue liners of masonry chimneys can become soft, cracked or otherwise damaged – such that it/they no longer have the ability to control and contain the scary by-products of combustion.

Inexactly lined chimneys will cause a number of ritzy structural and cosmetic problems for the consumer and also create potentially pertinent safety hazards. Many of masonry chimney products (except for real stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. A stone chimney acts and can be like a brick chimney & it could also be protected from the effects of water penetration. Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety & damage-prevention part. Installing chimney caps & dampers could protect your chimney & maintain a safe chimney damper. We only send fully-trained chimney cleaning experts to your structure that can live up to the guidelines of the CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) & the NCSG (National Chimney Sweeps Guild), the two regulatory organizations for the chimney industry in the United States.

Even just falling leaves could build up without the right chimney cap in place.

Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. The flue gases are acidic in nature & literally eat away at the mortar joints from inside the chimney. Liners provide a correctly-sized flue for optimum efficiency of appliances. The chimney is responsible for not only allowing the products of combustion a passage out of the house, but the draft generated by the chimney also supplies the combustion air to the appliance. Our prominent function is to remove flue deposits and evaluate the complete condition of the chimney system.

The required cleaning frequency can depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel and the burning habits of the client. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot & creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze more than 1/8 inch will be removed. Our pros employ numerous cleaning techniques to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney estimates are the only way to know when the chimney needs repairs.
