Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning
Sweeping a chimney isn’t like sweeping a floor — it’s a detailed process that requires experience, know-how, and diligence.
Our CSIA Certified Chimney sweeps aren’t just keeping your chimney clean – they’re keeping your home and family safe. Home Safe Hearth & Chimney’s CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps will show up on time, do the detailed work right, and show the utmost care for your home. We take pains to make sure our work doesn’t transfer a speck of soot to your living space.
We can’t overstate just how important proper maintenance of your chimney is. Your chimney’s job is to contain poisonous gases like carbon monoxide and other dangerous byproducts of combustion and to remove them COMPLETELY from your home. In order to do that job right, your chimney must be free of gaps, cracks, degraded masonry, debris blockage, creosote buildup, or other issues that can crop up over time. Annual chimney inspections make sure damage is caught and repaired quickly. Annual chimney sweeping also makes sure debris and creosote are removed before they have a chance to cause a fire.
Fire Hazards: What You Need To Know
A Home Structure Fires report issued in April of 2013 by the National Fire Protection Association‘s Fire Analysis and Research Division showed that heating equipment — including fireplaces and chimneys — was involved in an annual average of more than 60,000 home fires between 2007 and 2011. Those resulted in an annual average of 490 deaths, 1,620 injuries, and upwards of $913 million in property damage.
The first step toward ensuring that fire hazards aren’t hiding in your chimney is to schedule an annual chimney inspection and an annual chimney sweeping.
