Don’t Let Your Flue Get Stressed Out
Chimneys deteriorate over time and so it’s important to monitor the mortar joints and bricks for stress caused by the elements. As the seasons bring rain, snow, sleet, and heat, the structure is affected in different ways and water begins to seep in through weakened places in the structure. The continuous repetition of freezing and thawing during our Midwest winter puts stress on chimneys.
Keep An Eye On Your Flue To Minimize Water Damage
Our inspection of your flue helps to make sure it is sized correctly and also intact. This will protect the mortar from deterioration by heat or acidic water vapor, condensation, and humidity build-up. We inspect your chimney to minimize flammable creosote build-up and to make it easy for the harmful gasses to exit your fireplace and wood stoves. Not only will your flue be cleaned but you can know that it is also safe.
Uninvited Guests Arrive & Those Animals Want To Move In
Birds, rodents, raccoons, and squirrels may build nests to protect their young in your chimney and in the process create noise and fire hazards. The materials those pests use can block the ventilation and create carbon monoxide poisoning in your home. Our chimney animal removal service takes care of unwanted animals and cleans up the hazardous mess they leave behind.
