Chimney Cleaning by Certified Chimney Professional.
Protect your family with safer chimneys and fireplaces.
Clean Your Chimney
Heating fires account for 36% of residential home fires in rural areas every year. Often these fires are due to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes. All home heating systems require regular maintenance to function safety and efficiently.
- Have your chimney or wood stove inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney specialist.
- Clear the area around the hearth of debris, decorations and flammable materials.
- Always use a metal mesh screen with fireplaces. Leave glass doors open while burning a fire.
- Install stovepipe thermometers to help monitor flue temperatures.
- Keep air inlets on wood stoves open, and never restrict air supply to fireplaces. Otherwise you may cause creosote buildup that could lead to a chimney fire.
- Use fire-resistant materials on walls around wood stoves.

Common Problems of Older Chimneys
Woodstoves and Fireplaces

moisture can cause cracked or missing liners, eroded brick and mortar, excessive or glazed
creosote... resulting in house
fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Oil and Gas Furnaces
Eroded or missing clay liners, excessive moisture in gas flues or excessive soot in oil flues can lead to cracked and missing tiles... resulting in moisture leaching into the home and carbon monoxide poisoning.
