We’re sure interesting and unusual things happen on a daily basis at nearly every kind of job, but few are as surprising as what happens when a chimney sweep works.
You would definitely notice if there were a fire in your home, right? Not necessarily. Chimney fires can come and go without warning, so get to know some signs!
Raccoons, squirrels, and more of those silly bandits can hide out in your chimney, while birds can get stuck inside or nest atop the chimney.
As the weather warms up, you’re probably not going to think much about using your chimney and fireplace. That doesn’t mean your chimney is immune to problems.
It may not be the prime time of year for chimney sweeps, but we still want to make sure you get the information you need to stay safe.
We cannot overstate the importance of knowing what to do, and ensuring your family knows what to do, in case of a fire in the home. Planning for fire safety means ensuring you have up-to-date working smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, along with a plan for what to do in an emergency.
We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned about once a year. However, there are certain circumstances in which creosote can build up faster (or slower) than it normally would, meaning you may need to clean at a different frequency.
The average homeowner does not know too much about the chimney that vents byproducts away from the fireplace and the home, aside from the basics.
You may have heard before that cleaning out the chimney from time to time is an important part of home maintenance.
