All About Chimneys

The NFPA recommends a Level 3 chimney inspection when the possibility of a hidden hazard has been identified. This comprehensive inspection confirms concealed portions of the chimney and flue have properly constructed of appropriate materials.

One of the benefits of having your chimney swept and cleaned regularly is that this will improve the airflow and overall performance of the chimney. If you notice smoke coming into your living room from your fireplace, then chances are that your chimney needs to be cleaned.

Did you know that you should only use a special type of brick called firebrick for fireplaces? This is because normal bricks cannot withstand the continued high heat inside a fireplace and tend to crack.

Did you know that all types of chimneys need to be cleaned and swept – including gas, oil and propane chimneys? Professional and timely chimney sweeps will extend the life of these chimneys and make sure chimneys are performing at their safest and most efficient levels.
