Frequently Asked Questions About Fireplace & Chimney Care
1. Will There Be a Mess During Service?
No. We use industrial-grade vacuums and soot filters to prevent any dust or debris from escaping into your home. Our technicians also lay down protective coverings to make sure your space stays spotless from start to finish.
2. What Does a Chimney Sweep Do?
A professional chimney sweep not only cleans soot and creosote but also inspects the chimney’s structure and ventilation for safety. We follow the three levels of inspection set by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) to identify any potential issues early.
3. How Does Chimney Maintenance Keep My Home Safe?
Regular chimney cleaning and inspections can prevent chimney fires, reduce carbon monoxide risks, and keep your system heating efficiently. Plus, a clean chimney simply smells better and ensures smoke flows properly out of your home.
4. Should I Worry About Carbon Monoxide?
Yes. Carbon monoxide is odorless and dangerous. It’s often caused by poor ventilation or a blocked flue. We recommend having at least two carbon monoxide detectors in your home—one near your heating appliance and one near sleeping areas—and keeping your chimney maintained by a certified sweep.
