Chimney Sweeping / Chimney Cleaning
Annual chimney sweeping is important for two reasons:
- It reduces the amount of flammable creosote in your chimney flue.
- It removes tree and animal debris that can impede drafting and send deadly carbon monoxide into your home.
Creosote is the #1 cause of chimney fires in Kentucky each year. Schedule annual chimney sweeping to lessen the chances of a chimney fire.
