Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We understand that you may have questions about our services and how we can help you. Here are some frequently asked questions and their answers:

Q: What is the importance of maintaining my chimney?

A: The National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA) has stated that even 1/8th inch of creosote in your chimney can be a fire hazard to your home. A buildup of creosote can catch fire inside your chimney, resulting in a 2,000 degree full-blown chimney fire. These infernos can wreak havoc on your chimney, often times escaping into the attic, walls, roof, etc. The first step to preventing a chimney fire is removing the creosote deposits which are a natural byproduct of burning wood. Sweeping away these deposits is the primary role of a chimney sweep.

Q: Do gas fireplaces need serviced?

A: Yes. Although the flue in a gas fireplace stays much cleaner than that of a woodburner, it is still important to service all types of gas units to maintain proper performance and peak aesthetics.

Q: How often do I need my chimney serviced?

A: The NFPA recommends an annual inspection by a certified professional for any woodburning or gas appliance in your home. The need for maintenance upon inspection will depend on a variety of factors, including: type of appliance, age of unit, frequency of use, and type of fuel being burned. These factors can be determined and further discussed during a first time inspection or annual visit.
