Question 1

What does a chimney safety inspection involve?

Accepted Answer

It includes a thorough visual assessment of the interior and exterior of your chimney to identify potential issues.

Question 2

Cleaning

Accepted Answer

We provide professional cleaning for fireplaces and chimneys, including systems that are hard to access or have heavy creosote buildup. Creosote is a tough, hardened form of soot that sticks tightly to the inside of the chimney, making it difficult to remove. When the buildup is significant, we may leave you with a tube of catalytic powder to spray into the flue between fires. This helps soften the creosote so we can remove it more effectively during a follow‑up visit.

About Firebox Appearance?
