Spring Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping Go Hand in Hand

Have you heard the birds chirping? Have you seen the daffodils sprouting? We sure have at Olde Towne Chimney & Fireplace Sales, and we are very excited about the arrival of spring. For many people, spring is the time to do some major cleaning to your home. If you are getting ready to start your spring cleaning list, we would like to remind you to remember your chimney. There is no better time to schedule your appointment with us to sweep your chimney. After using your fireplace all winter, you know how dirty your chimney is. A springtime chimney sweeping will ensure that you will not have to worry about unpleasant odors coming into your home through the fireplace during the warm summer months. When you schedule a chimney sweeping with our Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified staff, you will also get a professional chimney inspection. We would like to tell you why it is so important to have these chimney maintenance tasks performed annually.

According to the CSIA, dirty chimneys cause chimney fires, which is why it is so essential to have your chimney swept at least once a year. When Olde Towne Chimney & Fireplace Sales sweeps your chimney, we take great care to remove every bit of creosote that has accumulated on the interior walls of your chimney. Formed naturally during the combustion process of burning wood, creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires because it is so flammable. When you have large deposits of creosote inside your chimney, these accumulations can easily ignite if the internal temperature of your chimney reaches a high enough point. Our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps will not only scrub these deposits loose from your chimney walls, but we will also remove them completely from your home. And, you will not have to worry about us making your home dirty as we will lay down tarps and drop cloths around the fireplace to be sure your house stays as clean as it was when we arrived.

As you most likely know, it can be difficult to see inside your chimney. There could be blockages and other damage that can make your chimney unsafe to use. This is why it is so important to have your chimney professionally inspected every year. The chimney sweeps from Olde Towne Chimney & Fireplace Sales have been trained and certified to inspect chimneys from the CSIA. Whether you need a basic Level 1 inspection, a more in-depth Level 2 inspection, or the most detailed Level 3 inspection, our chimney sweeps will provide excellent inspection services. If we find any damage, we will be sure to provide you with evidence of this damage as well as make repair recommendations.Make a professional chimney sweeping and inspection part of your spring cleaning routine.
