Chimney Sweeping Near Me: Cleaner Chimneys Are Safer Chimneys

Why are annual chimney sweeps such a priority for fireplace owners? Easy – when your chimney is clean it will work better.

Clean chimneys allow for better airflow. With less residue, creosote, organic debris, and buildup, the air will flow up and out of the chimney as intended. This optimum airflow vents the chimney, allowing for a healthy, warm fire, and it keeps your family safer, helping to ensure they don’t breathe in toxic gases and harmful particles.
Clean chimneys reduce odors. A clean chimney also means that there is no stinky lingering odor when the fire is out and the firebox itself looks picture-perfect for all your #relaxingbythefire social media selfies and holiday family photos.
Clean chimneys are less prone to chimney fires. When your flue is dirty, the air slows and more creosote and soot are left behind to coat the liner with corrosive chemicals or create a dangerous creosote buildup.
Clean chimneys face less damage. When your fireplace and chimney are dirty, the parts can become stuck or damaged quicker, the lifetime of your chimney is shorter, and it’s harder to diagnose problems and damage.

To sum up… When your chimney is dirty, it’s unsafe to use your fireplace. Don’t risk it. Enjoy it! Schedule a chimney sweep with Trinity Chimney Services today.

Why Should I Book a Yearly Chimney Inspection?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) recommend annual inspections and routine sweeps for the safest and most efficient chimney systems. This doesn’t mean a homeowner with a hand mirror and a flashlight. The CSIA Inspection is a thorough once-over of the entire system. It comes in three levels according to necessity and is affordable to all homeowners.

At Trinity, we offer levels 1, 2, and 3 inspections as well as real estate inspections for sellers and prospective home buyers. The basic routine chimney inspection necessary every 12 months is the level one inspection. It includes all readily accessible portions of the system from top to bottom. If your chimney has had issues, has experienced a natural disaster, or has been changed in any way, or if the property is being sold or transferred, the inspection to schedule is a level two. This includes all from a level one, plus a video scan of the interior of the system and all portions accessible by doors and crawlspaces. If your chimney professional discovers or suspects a hazard during one of these inspections, a level three inspection becomes necessary. This is a more costly inspection and usually requires minor demolition and repair.
