Initial Assessment
The visit starts with a visual inspection to assess the general condition of your chimney and fireplace. This initial check helps identify apparent issues.
A technician will look for signs of damage or blockages and may ask about any issues you have noticed with your fireplace.
Cleaning Process
During cleaning, the technician uses specialized brushes and vacuums designed to remove soot, ash, and creosote, a flammable substance that builds up over time.
The sweep will cover the fireplace opening to prevent mess and contain dust. This thorough cleaning helps enhance safety and performance.
Final Inspection and Recommendations
After cleaning, a final inspection ensures no blockages or issues remain. The technician may use cameras to check areas that are difficult to see.
Upon completion, you will receive a report detailing any findings. Recommendations for repairs or further maintenance may be provided to keep your chimney in good working order.
