Why should I make my fall chimney maintenance appointment today?
The busiest time of the year for Chim Cheree, The Chimney Specialists is from September to December. We work long hours every day, making sure the chimneys in our area are safe and efficient. If you wait until after Labor Day to schedule this appointment, you may have a hard time getting the most convenient date for you! The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) recommends that homeowners have their chimneys professionally swept and inspected before lighting the first fire of the season. Therefore, you may not be able to use your fireplace safely as soon as you would like. Making this appointment now guarantees that your fireplace is ready to go on the first cool night of fall.
What can I expect from a professional chimney sweeping and inspection from Chim Cheree, The Chimney Specialists?
When we arrive to your home on the date of your appointment, our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps begin by laying down drop cloths on the floor in front of your fireplace. We also set up a high-powered vacuum that will collect dust from the chimney. After protecting your home from getting dirty, we will sweep your chimney from top to bottom. Additionally, making sure we remove every bit of creosote to reduce the risk of a chimney fire!
What happens after we have swept the chimney? We inspect its interior and exterior to look for any blockages or damage that could cause your fireplace to be unsafe to use. Once we are finished, we will provide you with a written description of the condition of your chimney. If problems are found, we will give you photos of the damage, as well as a written estimate of the repairs needed to make your chimney safe again.
