Canton CT Chimney Sweeps & Inspections

Located in New England, winters can be harsh and enduring. Canton, Connecticut, is no exception. Located in the Farmington Valley, it is located on the Farmington River. Folks in neighboring towns such as Avon and Burlington have been known to enjoy the river in both winter and summer. 

With the winds off the river, the winters can be damaging to your chimney, taking the brunt of the winds. Northeastern Chimney Inc. has been providing services to the Farmington Valley for over 40 years. Now that the winter is behind us, it is time to think of maintenance for your chimney as well as your yard. Flowers are peeping out of the ground, buds on trees are popping everywhere. Don’t put off these tasks for another day.

Annual maintenance which includes a chimney sweep and inspection are important for the upkeep of your chimney. There are always visual issues that you may be able to identify, but without the expertise of a professional chimney sweep, you may miss some of the damages.
