Chimney Sweeping
Report
What most people picture when you ask them about chimney sweeping is either a young lad covered from head to toe in soot or a tall skinny guy a.k.l. Dick Van Dike in "Mary Poppins", again covered from head to toe in soot. This was a very accurate picture up through the centuries. However, in the last few decades cleaning a chimney has become a much more high tech industry than most people realize.
Chimney Inspections
Report
Why should you bother having your chimney inspected? The following statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for 2010 is a good place to start. U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,331,500 fires. There was a civilian fire death every 169 minutes and a civilian fire injury every 30 minutes in 2010.
Chimney Repairs
Report
There are a lot of things to consider when we talk about chimney repairs. In fact, you might need to repair the crown, the caps, the firebox, the flue, the flashing around the base of the chimney where it intersects with the roof or the brick and mortar. This is why it's important to have a chimney inspection done to identify exactly what is causing the particular issue.
