Why Is Chimney Cleaning So Important?

Chimney cleaning is important for several reasons:

1. Creosote removal: Creosote is formed in the chimney of any fireplace that burns wood.  It’s a sticky substance that clings to the chimney walls.  It’s also a very flammable substance and causes the majority of chimney fires in America each year.

When our technicians visit homes in Cumming to perform chimney cleaning, we use advanced camera equipment that allows us to see way down into the chimney to determine what’s happening in there.  Once we know where the creosote is and how much buildup exists, we use specialized cleaning equipment to remove it.

2. Removal of obstructions: Some chimneys – particularly those without a sturdy chimney cap – end up attracting a variety of things that can cause obstructions.  These include twigs and leaves from nearby trees as well as nests of small animals.

Obstructions in a chimney can cause smoke and deadly carbon monoxide to back up into the house.  Smoke can make you cough, but carbon monoxide is invisible and odorless and is known to be very dangerous to humans and pets.  We will clean out all obstructions in your chimney to ensure proper drafting.

Why Are Chimney Inspections Important?

Over time, chimneys begin to show signs of wear.  Structurally, a chimney can degrade to the point it literally falls down.  But before that happens, there surely are cracks and decomposition that allow water to get into the system.  Water is not good inside a chimney.

When Chimney Solutions performs inspections on our Cumming customers’ chimneys, we meticulously go over the entire system to spot any signs of crumbling, cracking and structural compromise.  We check the chimney liner to see what kind of shape it’s in.  We inspect the chimney cap, the crown, the flashing, the damper and all other components.

If we find problems, our certified technicians can immediately begin repairs or component-replacement as needed.

Trust Your Fireplace & Chimney to the Chimney Cleaning Experts

The service personnel we send to homes in Cumming, GA, and neighboring communities throughout Forsyth County are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA).  This means they’ve demonstrated that they have the skill, expertise and training to service your fireplace system correctly and safely.

In addition to CSIA certification, we also hold certifications with the National Fireplace Institute, OSHA, the American Heart Association for first aid and Reality Rope Access for safety in using climbing ropes.

Dryer Vents

Another CSIA certification we hold is that of Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician.  Our Cumming customers often want their clothes dryer vents checked out, so we perform complete cleaning services for them.  An open dryer vent will cause the machine to use less electricity and dry clothes more efficiently.
