Chimney and Fireplace

If you use your chimney and fireplace on a fairly regular basis, you should have them thoroughly inspected every few years.  A chimney inspection generally doesn’t take too long to complete and will give you peace of mind as a homeowner that everything is in good shape.  Additionally, staying apprised of any chimney maintenance concerns means you’ll be able to avoid costly chimney repairs in the future!  Your chimney contractors can also recommend a chimney sweep schedule based on how often you use your metal or brick chimney.  Generally speaking, chimney cleaning is highly recommended every few months.

Chimney Relining

Chimney liners are a very important part of keeping your chimney safe and up to code.  Depending on how often you tend to use your chimney and fireplace, you will need a chimney relining service every five to seven years.  We recommend installing insulated chimney liners; this type of chimney lining has the best record for keeping your chimney safe and clean.  There are many other measures you can take to prevent your chimney from getting dirty!  Chimney caps and chimney covers go a long way in preventing excess debris and small animals from finding their way into your home.

Chimney liners are one of the most essential parts of proper chimney maintenance.  Insulated chimney liners will help to protect your metal or brick chimney from degradation over any period of non-use.  When you light up a fire in your fireplace come autumn, you’ll be amazed at how clean your chimney has remained.  It’s important to remember to keep your chimney flue closed while not using your fireplace.  A high quality chimney cover and chimney cap will also help to ensure no debris or small animals find their way into your home by way of your chimney!
