CHIMNEY SERVICES
We offer a variety of services for wood-burning chimneys, including chimney sweeping, chimney cap installation, tuckpointing, crown repair and rebuilding, and flue tile repair. For major projects and repairs we will come to your home to evaluate the work needed and provide you with an estimate, complete with pictures of problem areas.
DRYER VENT CLEANING
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, lint is a highly combustible material that can accumulate both in the dryer and in the dryer vent. Accumulated lint leads to reduced airflow and can pose a potential fire hazard. Blockage in dryer exhaust vents can also occur from animal nests or from damages to the venting system itself. A compromised vent will not exhaust properly to the outside. As a result, overheating may occur and a a fire may ensue.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY CLEANED?
There are several variables that determine how often you should have your chimney and fireplace or wood stove cleaned:
• Frequency of Use
• Type and Dryness of Wood Used
• Temperature of Resulting Fires
Always have the chimney and fireplace or wood stove inspected and cleaned when buying a new home!
Most experts agree that you should have your chimney or wood stove inspected every year at the very least (even if you don’t use it) OR cleaned/inspected approximately every 50 fires.
A chimney that is not inspected regularly can deteriorate and end up being a costly repair in the future.
