Jeffersontown, KY, is a major Louisville suburb. In 2003, “J-town” opted to retain its independent-city status when a large, local metro government was formed. The city is flanked by interstates 264, 64 and 265, roadways regularly travelled by American Chimney & Fireplace as we provide services to northern Kentucky homeowners.
Chimney Sweeping
There’s no substitute for professional chimney sweeping with industry-grade equipment. We recommend scheduling this service once a year to:
- Get rid of flammable creosote
- Remove draft-blocking debris
Creosote is the #1 cause of reported chimney fires in and around Jeffersontown, KY, each year. It’s highly flammable and acidic and should be safely and correctly removed on a regular basis.
Leaves, twigs, the nests of small animals and other debris can create a chimney flue obstruction that causes smoke and deadly carbon monoxide to move into your living spaces. Chimney sweeping removes this debris.
Along with chimneys, we also clean soot and creosote deposits out of fireboxes.
Jeffersontown KY Chimney Inspections & Fireplace Inspections
Proper chimney and fireplace inspections can spot early signs of damage and malfunction so you can get them fixed quickly. Our chimney inspectors look closely at all readily accessible areas of your chimney and fireplace system:
- Chimney caps, chase tops, crowns and flashing
- Chimney liner and masonry structure
- Fireplace and firebox
We also offer inspections for when you’re selling your home or altering the chimney/fireplace system. We provide full-scale inspections when an event, such as a chimney fire or lightning strike, has caused significant damage.
If it’s been more than a year since your Jeffersontown, KY, chimney and fireplace were inspected, it’s time to schedule this service.
Firebox Repair and Rebuilding
The fire bricks and refractory panels in masonry fireplaces have to contend with a lot of punishment from heat, flames and acidic gases. If parts of your firebox are cracked or broken apart, your home is in danger of a serious fire. Our fireplace masons repair and rebuild fireboxes to bring them up to code.
