Your chimney will run better and be safer when you address a few very important maintenance tasks. One task you never want to overlook is regular visits from a professional chimney sweep. Chimney Specialists of Richland Center, WI, is here to help with chimney sweep services that will solve two common problems in the Richland Center area: Flammable creosote buildup in the chimney flue and Draft-blocking obstructions in the flue.
What Does a Chimney Sweep Do?
Chimney sweeps are skilled technicians who use specialized tools to remove creosote and drafting obstructions from chimneys. Our crew works with chimney sweep rods, scrubbers, brushes, cleaning compounds and industrial-grade vacuums to thoroughly dislodge and remove chimney creosote and debris from the chimney flue.
Creosote, which forms when wood fires burn, clings to the walls of your chimney liner. This creosote is highly flammable, so over time it can build up to the point that a devastating chimney fire is very possible. Removing creosote from our Richland Center customers’ chimneys is a job we take seriously. We know it’s a key maintenance task that will make a huge difference in the safety of their chimneys.
Chimney Cap Repair
Another important task of the chimney sweep is the removal of tree debris, small-animal nests and other obstructions that may lead to blockages. If you operate your chimney without a secure chimney cap, it’s an invitation to a variety of debris that will narrow the flue and lead to serious drafting issues.
Smoke backing up into your home is no fun, but even worse is the carbon monoxide that’s carried in smoke. Carbon monoxide can’t be seen or smelled, but it’s known to pose major health risks to people and animals who breathe it.
If it’s been more than a year since your Richland Center chimney was professionally cleaned, be sure to contact our chimney sweeps and arrange for a cleaning.
