Chimney Sweep Services
Whether you use your fireplace often, an annual chimney sweep is recommended. Chimney cleaning is the first step for safe fireplace use. It removes flammable residue and debris. This helps prevent chimney fires and keeps your system running well.
The cleaning process is quick, clean, and performed by trained technicians who use specialized tools to access every part of your flue system.
Chimney Inspection Services
A chimney inspection is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure fireplace safety. Inspections reveal hidden damage, blockages, or hazards that could affect performance or create risks. Technicians follow industry-standard procedures to identify potential issues before they escalate.
How Often Should Chimney Services Be Scheduled?
Inspect and clean a frequently used chimney at least once per year. Even if people use it occasionally, creosote buildup and weather-related wear can still pose risks. Annual inspections catch issues early, prevent fire hazards, and keep your fireplace working as it should.
Chimney Repair
Chimneys are exposed to harsh Midwest weather, and over time, that can lead to cracks, leaks, and structural issues. Repairing problems early can prevent water damage, crumbling bricks, and inefficient fireplace performance. Professional chimney repair helps extend the life of your system.
