Dallas, TX Chimney Cleaners

Why do I need to hire a chimney cleaner in Dallas, TX?

Fireplace cleaning always seems like a messy task, and that’s because it is. Creosote, better known as soot, forms when wood is not properly burned — unburned tar vapors stick in the flue, or walls, and are tricky to clean but can lead to chimney fires if not taken care of. In fact, about a quarter of all residential fires that occur in the United States are caused by creosote buildup. That fact alone should motivate you hire a Dallas chimney sweep as soon as possible! Other common problems that a fireplace and chimney inspection should catch are damaged or decaying mortar and joints, leaks that let in air or water, and even animal extraction. Chimney repair is an important part of keeping your entire Dallas home safe and sound, so keep yours in tiptop shape to reap its benefits safely.

The Chimney Safety Institute of America actually certifies chimney sweeps, so you know if they are CSIA certified that they will do a good (and safe) job. It’s recommended that you get a full chimney inspection once a year at least, so don’t hesitate to call a chimney service in Dallas, TX at any point during the year if you suspect something is not quite right.
