Many homeowners in Tichigan, WI, own wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, gas or wood stoves, or pellet stoves as primary or supplemental heating systems. And each of these requires annual inspection, cleaning, and maintenance to ensure they run safely and efficiently. To ensure your fireplace and chimney remain in good condition, start by hiring a reputable chimney service company for annual maintenance and cleaning.

Expert Chimney Inspection

There's no substitute for a yearly chimney inspection conducted by a trained professional. But you may wonder what a chimney inspection is and why it's so important.

A chimney inspection is when a certified professional evaluates your chimney or venting system to assess its health and whether it's safe to use or not. A yearly chimney inspection is essential because it allows you to detect problems like flue blockages, creosote buildup, cracks, leaks, and damage that can impede your chimney's performance and put your home at risk of a fire.

The sad fact is that most chimney fires happen because

of minor problems that went undetected until they literally blew up into catastrophes. Hiring a professional chimney sweep for annual inspection allows peace of mind knowing that your chimney and fireplace are safe to operate.

Our technicians are certified for all three levels of chimney inspection, which include:

• Level 1 inspection is the most common, and it's part of routine chimney maintenance. During a level 1 inspection, our technicians check all of your chimney and fireplace's visible interior and exterior portions for signs of deterioration and damage.
• A level 2 inspection is performed when a homeowner installs a new chimney or fireplace insert, replaces the flue liner, or switches fuel sources for their fireplace or stove. Level 2 inspections are also required when selling a home.
• Level 3 inspections are only required when you think there's damage that has compromised your chimney's structural integrity. In most cases, this inspection happens after a chimney fire, seismic event, or in the event of extreme weather.

Professional Chimney Sweeping

While a fireplace or stove is a beautiful home centerpiece that keeps you warm, many people don't realize that every time you burn wood, it produces a byproduct called creosote, which can be extremely dangerous as it starts as a flaky coating along your chimney's internal walls but quickly builds up into a thick, sticky substance that's difficult to remove without the help of a professional. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), the number one cause of chimney fires is creosote buildup because it's highly flammable and can ignite at temperatures as low as 451 degrees. Our chimney sweep service removes this harmful buildup even if it's already hardened, so you can use your fireplace without fear of starting a devastating fire that can spread to your roof and home.
