Chimney Sweep
A clean chimney is a safe chimney. Fluesbrothers’ certified chimney technicians have the specialized tools and skills to thoroughly remove creosote and obstructions from your chimney to reduce the chances of a chimney fire and allow smoke and toxins to draft properly.
Creosote is a flammable substance that is created when wood burns. It is responsible for most chimney fires in the U.S. each year. Excess creosote not only can become fuel for a fire, it also can narrow the air passage in your flue and make it difficult for smoke to move up and out of the chimney.
Obstructions such as leaves, twigs, general debris, small-animal nests and animals who die inside the chimney can accumulate inside the flue to the point that smoke and dangerous carbon monoxide back up into your home and create a health risk. This can be prevented with annual chimney cleaning.
Chimney Inspections
Regular chimney inspections will turn up early signs of damage within your chimney system and allow you to address issues before they turn into expensive repair projects. A thorough chimney inspection covers all components such as the chimney cap, flue liner and damper as well as the bricks and mortar of the chimney structure. Our inspectors are meticulous in checking out every inch of your chimney. They use their years of hands-on experience to spot problems and recommend solutions so that your chimney and fireplace run safely and at peak efficiency.
