Regular chimney maintenance is essential for preventing hazardous conditions and ensuring optimal fireplace performance. Our chimney sweeping services are designed to eliminate creosote buildup—a flammable byproduct of wood-burning—as well as obstructions like bird nests and debris. Utilizing industry-leading equipment, our certified technicians conduct thorough cleanings that enhance airflow and reduce the risk of chimney fires. We adhere to the recommendations of the NFPA, which advises annual inspections and cleanings to maintain a safe and efficient chimney system.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Maintaining a clean dryer vent is essential for both safety and efficiency in your home. Our dryer vent cleaning services offer:

  • Fire Hazard Reduction: Lint accumulation in dryer vents poses a significant fire risk. Our thorough cleaning process removes lint and debris, minimizing this danger.

  • Enhanced Dryer Performance: A clean vent allows your dryer to operate more efficiently, leading to faster drying times and reduced energy consumption.

  • Extended Appliance Lifespan: Regular maintenance prevents overheating and excessive wear, thereby prolonging the life of your dryer.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends annual dryer vent cleanings to prevent potential hazards.

Total Water Protection

Water intrusion can severely damage your chimney’s structure and your home’s interior. Our Total Water Protection services are designed to safeguard your chimney against moisture-related deterioration. We begin by installing a chimney cap to prevent rain, snow, and debris from entering the chimney. Properly sealed flashing between the chimney and roof is crucial to prevent leaks, so we inspect and repair flashing to ensure a watertight seal. Applying a waterproof sealant to the chimney crown prevents water from seeping into the masonry, reducing the risk of cracks and leaks.

Gas Fireplace Service and Repair

Gas fireplaces offer convenience and efficiency but require regular upkeep to ensure safe operation. Our gas fireplace services encompass:

  • Routine Inspections: Checking for gas leaks, proper venting, and overall system integrity.
  • Component Cleaning: Removing dust and debris from burners, pilot assemblies, and ignition systems to maintain optimal performance.
  • Troubleshooting and Repairs: Addressing issues such as ignition failures, unusual odors, or irregular flame patterns promptly and effectively.
  •  
  • Regular maintenance ensures your gas fireplace remains a safe, efficient, and enjoyable feature of your home.

You bet! Before honoring their warranties, most manufacturers require consumers to follow the regulations set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). For stoves that burn cord wood and bio-fuel pellets, the recommendation is an annual sweep. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when the soot level reaches 1/8” thick on the inside walls of the chimney.

The NFPA’s Document 211 reads, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” It’s advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace so often, you ought to arrange an inspection to verify that your chimney and fireplace lack issues such as loose dampers, leaves or nesting debris blocking the flue, or broken air shutters.

You ought to have a professional clean out your dryer’s ventilation once a year. The vent and its surrounding area ought to be inspected every 6 months to be sure there’s no damage.

Yes! While gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood-burning fireplaces, they still require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity. Even though gas burns without producing creosote, dust, soot, and carbon deposits can still accumulate inside the fireplace, on the burner, logs, glass, and venting system.
