Chimney Inspections
It’s critical to your family’s safety that regularly-used chimneys are inspected and professionally cleaned each year. Even if you only use your fireplace or furnace occasionally, a chimney system should be routinely inspected for problems before they become too costly or dangerous. These potential problems include blockages like birds’ nests and dangerous build-ups of oil soot or creosotes. A certified chimney specialist can alert you to issues that will help you to avoid smoking problems, chimney fires, and carbon monoxide poisoning. By having your chimney inspected, you are protecting yourself and your family from personal injury, property damage, even death.
Certified Chimney Sweep
An annual chimney inspection by a certified chimney sweep is a modest investment that can make a profound impact on your family’s health and well-being. But even though home improvement is all the rage, one thing that homeowners often leave off of their to-do lists is a fireplace and chimney inspection.
Too many homeowners mistakenly believe that their chimneys only need to be cleaned and inspected if they burn wood in their fireplaces or wood stoves. However, almost all heating appliances, whether they burn gas, oil, wood, or coal, use a chimney to safely transport toxic gases out of the house. A chimney helps your household air stay breathable, as do the windows and vents in your home. Unlike windows and vents, though, chimneys require a special kind of care. Bottom line: if you have a chimney, even if you use it only sporadically, it needs to be inspected annually. This way you’ll be reducing the potential for damage to both the home and the people you love.
