CHIMNEY AND FIREPLACE MEINTENANCE
Scammers usually offer a special on chimney cleaning or fireplace repair for a low price. They often claim that your chimney liner is damaged and needs to be replaced. Remember, there is no need to reline an already lined chimney unless your lining is in really bad condition. Avoid businesses that solicit door-to-door, pressure you to make immediate decisions, or offer exceptionally good deals and long-term guarantees. Rely on your intuition. If you sense something, walk away and look for another company. Remember: A chimney, if not properly maintained, can be very dangerous ! Chimneys and fireplaces should be inspected at least once a year and cleaned when necessary. If you use your fireplace or appliance on a regular basis, we strongly recommend cleaning of the chimney flue at least once a year during your annual chimney inspection. A common problem is usually creosote, a chemical substance formed from burning wood which builds up inside the chimney. It is potential a fire hazard and the primary fuel in most chimney fires. A chimney fire can create deadly gases, and if it gets hot enough, the fire can spread. Even without a fire, creosote and soot reduce the draft and diminish the efficiency of the heating system. Chimney Pro's technicians are well trained to discover any potential problems. Upon request we can perform video-camera scanning of your chimney.
The only true fire safety is prevention!
