Scheduling our CHIMNEY CLEANING SERVICE for your home or business with our knowledgeable office staff is quick and painless. You will receive a call the night before confirming your appointment for the following day. If it is a weekend, you will be called on that Friday to confirm your weekend appointment.
On the day of your appointment a trained & skilled technician will show up at your home or business in a timely manner. We will sweep the flue with a wire chimney brush and vacuum inside the firebox or stove itself. When performing an inspection, a visual assessment of the chimney is performed. In certain circumstances, you may need a more intensive inspection, in which case a technician would discuss the option of performing a more intensive inspection or even a possible video camera inspection of the interior of the chimney flue if it seems like you will need to delve deeper.
Your fireplace should be inspected once a year depending on how often you use it. A gas fireplace and a gas log set should be inspected and serviced every year as well.
In the warmer months, the heat and condensation can create an odor from the fireplace or stove, which may mean that you will need another sweep during the warmer months if the smell becomes a nuisance.
If a fireplace is not properly maintained or is used quite frequently, a black thick film can build up, deposited from the exhaust and debris of consistent fires, which is called creosote. If this becomes the case, depending on the severity, our technician will recommend a more intensive cleaning.
The primary job of Mr Chimney, your chimney service professional, is to aid in the prevention of fires related to fireplaces, woodstoves, gas, oil and coal heating systems and the chimneys that serve them. Wood burning heating systems, in particular, require careful monitoring and our skillful operation.
Mr Chimney installs, cleans and maintains these systems, evaluate their performance, prescribe changes to improve their performance, and educate the consumer about their safe and efficient operation. The basic task of a chimney sweep is to clean chimneys. Cleaning means removing the hazard of accumulated and highly combustible creosote produced by burning wood and wood products. It means eliminating the build-up of soot in coal-and-oil-fired systems, it means getting rid of bird and animal nests, leaves and other debris that may create a hazard by blocking the flow of emissions from a home heating appliance. In doing their primary job, sweeps also function as on-the-job fire prevention specialists. We are constantly on the lookout for unsafe conditions that can cause home fires or threaten residents with dangerous or unhealthy indoor air quality.
Mr Chimney keeps abreast of the current developments and the technology of our trade. We are knowledgeable about the most recent National Fire Protection Association standards as well as the specifics of state and local codes covering your geographic area.
