Why Service/Clean my Wood Stove?

• Avoid Chimney Fires: A wood fire creates creosote, a substance that is sticky, concentrated, and highly flammable. Just a small amount of creosote can start a chimney fire. When you have chimney cleaning services done on your chimney, you reduce the risks of chimney fires immensely.
• Improve Heating Efficiency: You may not think of this, but chimney cleaning services improve the heating efficiency in your home. A clean chimney will help the wood in your fireplace burn more thoroughly and efficiently.
• Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Buildup of smoke byproducts, twigs, animal nests, and even the animals themselves in your chimney can compromise the chimney’s airflow. Without effective airflow, carbon monoxide can be pushed back into your home rather than exiting through the chimney.

If you notice any of the following signs below, schedule a wood stove cleaning today:

• You have problems starting a fire in your fireplace or keeping the fire burning for several hours.
• As a fire is burning, you should smell a pleasant odor from the wood rather than a foul odor.
• There is grease or creosote build-up in your chimney.
• There is a blockage in the chimney shaft which creates a buildup of smoke inside your home.
• Your fireplace’s damper is difficult to open or close.
• You noticed a fluttering or scurrying noise inside the walls near the chimney from animals.
