When was the last time your chimney was professionally swept and inspected? If you are like many homeowners, it's easy to forget what you can't see. However, your chimney plays a critical role in the safety, efficiency, and comfort of your home. Professional chimney companies, like Northeastern Chimney, service Fairfield and the surrounding towns of Southport and Green Farms.
Regular chimney sweeping and inspection are an important part of the upkeep. These services are essential to the maintenance of your chimney to protect your family and your home.
What Are The Benefits of a Chimney Sweep and Inspection?
Protect Your Home From Chimney Fires. Each time you burn wood, creosote builds up inside the chimney. Creosote is a sticky, tar-like substance that is highly flammable. Excessive creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires.
- A professional chimney sweep will remove this dangerous buildup. This will reduce the risk and give you the confidence every time you light a fire.
- Protect Your Family’s Health. Chimneys often get blocked by small animals, animal nest byproducts, or debris. If a blockage occurs, smoke and toxic gases, especially carbon monoxide, can come back into your living space. Carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible, yet extremely dangerous.
- A thorough chimney inspection will check for blockages, cracked or deteriorated flue liner, and improper venting. Our team will ensure that your chimney vents correctly, keeping your indoor air clean and safe for your family.
- Improve Efficiency and Performance. A properly functioning and clean chimney will improve draft, allowing your fireplace or stove to burn more efficiently. You can experience better heat output, reduced fuel usage, and less smoke entering your home.
- Meet Insurance Requirements. Many insurance companies require proof of regular chimney inspections. If your chimney has damage or there is a fire, they may not cover the claim if you do not have that proof. Check with your insurance company for details.
