"NOT" Having Your Chimney Serviced Could Lead To This...
Is Sweeping A Chimney Really Necessary?
Creosote is a byproduct of fire, and will build up inside of the chimney. Creosote is extremely flammable, as it is building up the risk of it catching fire increases every time the fireplace is used. The main purpose of sweeping the chimney is to remove as much of the flammable creosote as possible minimizing the possibility of having a chimney fire.

Notes
|
Procedure varies somewhat for freestanding stoves and stove inserts, but the emphasis is still on being thorough with the sweeping and evaluation, and keeping the area clean!

|
|
|||
|
We will only sweep a stove insert if the flue pipe goes all the way to the top of the chimney!
|
||
|
|
|||
|
Some chimney tops can be inaccessible either due to steep roofs or fragile tile.
|
||
|
|
|||
|
Always have your chimney system swept and inspected by a professional chimney sweep.

We reserve the right to refuse any job that we feel does not comply with proper Listings, Codes or guidelines that pertain to the system's construction as well as clearances to combustibles -- especially with stoves and prefab fireplaces, this is regardless of whether the installation was approved by ANY authority prior to our visit.
