Swept??<\/strong>\u00a0 Your chimney should be swept as needed. \u00a0This question is often confused with annual inspections. \u00a0For many clients once a year is simply not enough. \u00a0Burning habits, moisture content of the wood, temperature of flue gases, combustion air needs of the appliance; to name a few, all affect the amount of creosote buildup in a system. \u00a0We recommend sweeping your chimney system prior to a quarter inch (1\/4 Inch) of build up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fire??<\/strong>\u00a0 First things first! Get everyone out of the home and call 911 from a neighbor\u2019s phone or a cellular phone.
\nOnce emergency services have deemed the dwelling safe for you to return, we recommend scheduling a chimney inspection. \u00a0Only through a detailed inspection by a qualified inspector, is it possible to determine potential hazards caused by the failure of materials within the fireplace and chimney systems. \u00a0Most chimney systems are designed to contain 1 fire. \u00a0It is our professional opinion that you should never use a chimney system after a fire until it has been inspected by a qualified inspector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Smoke??<\/strong>\u00a0 There is nothing worse than a fireplace that doesn\u2019t work! \u00a0Not only is the smoke a nuisance, it is a health hazard. \u00a0The fireplace or stove should not be operated until the condition is repaired. \u00a0There are many reasons a fireplace smokes. \u00a0Some of the reasons include inadequate combustion air, (especially true in tight houses), improper chimney sizing, negative pressure in the dwelling, a stack affect in homes with severe pressure zones, downsizing of a chimney due to debris or creosote buildup or just poor location of the chimney itself. \u00a0The good news is many of these smoking problems can be solved. \u00a0The first step to solving this problem is obtaining an accurate evaluation of the system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Do gas fireplaces need service or maintenance?”]<\/p>\n

Maintenance??<\/strong>\u00a0 Gas fireplaces need service and maintenance just like any appliance. \u00a0The manufacturer of these appliances will typically outline a maintenance, or service schedule in their operating manuals. \u00a0There are many components working together, and if just one of the components fails, typically the whole system fails. \u00a0The best course of action is annual maintenance to ensure working parts, and that the fire continue to be the aesthetic center point you expect and originally intended.<\/div>\n
