Chimney sweep and fireplace cleaning - It is important that you take care of your chimney and in order to do that, you need to have it inspected and a chimney sweep performed, if needed, on a regular basis. This ‘regular basis’ is determined by different factors including how often you use the chimney and the type of fuel you are burning.
We cannot stress enough how important it is that you use a certified chimney sweep. The chimney sweep industry is not regulated and using someone who does not have the proper qualifications can often do more damage to your chimney and fireplace in the long run.
Not sure if you need a chimney sweep? The Chimney Safety Intitute of America (CSIA) has put together a Chimney Sweep tutorial which takes you through common questions about about the necessity of a chimney sweep, what a chimney sweep entails, the chimney sweep process, and how to prepare for a chimney sweep. You can watch the short video here.
For more information regarding chimney sweeping and fireplace cleaning – including recommended servicing, proper qualifications, and how to find a certified chimney sweep in your area, please check out our chimney sweep page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning - Have you noticed your clothes are taking longer in the dry? It might not be your dryers fault! A common warning sign of a clogged dryer vent is extended drying time. This is due in part to lint that builds up in your dryers vent and can make your dryer perform at less than optimum levels.
Before paying money to replace an expensive appliance, have a technician come out and take a look at the dryer vent. It might just end up saving you - both the cost of a new dryer and on your electricity bill! For more information regarding dryer vent cleaning – including what warning signs to look for, please check out our dryer vent page.
Chimney and fireplace inspection - There are many different reasons a chimney may require inspection including the sale or purchase of a new home, safety, and repair.
With all of our chimney sweeps, we include a Level I - visual - fireplace inspection at no additional cost. For more information regarding chimney and fireplace inspection – including the different levels of inspection, please check out our chimney and fireplace inspection page.
Chimney and Fireplace Construction defect repair - Construction Defect Repair refers to improperly installed pre-fabricated fireplaces or components that have been installed on prefabricated fireplaces that do not meet manufacturer specifications.
