Questions
Why is my wood stove venting smoke back into the house?
This may occur due to a blocked chimney or unseasoned wood. Have your chimney cleaned annually and ensure wood has 20% or less moisture for proper draft.
Why do I have a soot stain on my fireplace bricks?
Soot stains indicate an undersized flue or improper smoke chamber construction. We can install a smoke guard or repair the chamber to resolve this issue.
Why won't my gas fireplace pilot light stay lit?
A burnt thermocouple often causes this issue. Refer to your manual for startup procedures, and contact us if the problem persists.
What services are included in a Level 2 chimney inspection?
A Level 2 inspection includes flue sweeping, Chim-Scan evaluation, structural checks, and a full report with photos and recommendations for new customers or post-season assessments.
Do you offer emergency chimney services?
We prioritize urgent issues like gas leaks but do not provide 24/7 emergency services. Contact us promptly for critical concerns.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes, all technicians maintain annual continuing education units (CEUs) and hold national certifications for chimney repairs and inspections.
