If you own a home in Wilsonville, KY, you know the importance of having an annual chimney sweep and chimney inspection. American Chimney and Fireplace has been servicing chimneys and fireplaces in Wilsonville, Fern Creek, and Highview for over 18 years. These neighboring towns trust the professionalism of the technicians and owners.
The NFPA’s standard NFPA 211 (for chimneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid-fuel appliances) states that: Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents should be inspected at least once a year, and American Chimney and Fireplace agrees. Chimneys should be cleaned based on inspection findings.
The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) also supports this guidance and trains certified chimney sweeps with NFPA standards.
The bottom line is that annual inspections are strongly recommended as standard, and sweeping is done as needed, often during or following that inspection.
What To Expect With A Chimney Sweep?
Our professionals at American Chimney and Fireplace take pride in the care that we provide to our customers. Our job is not complete until you are 100% satisfied.
Upon arrival at your home, we will drape any furniture that is in the room of the fireplace, taking care not to damage anything. Using a long-bristle brush, we will thoroughly clean debris from the interior of the chimney. Our technician will then vacuum out the firebox, cleaning out any remaining debris and soot. Upon completion, we will clean up any mess that may have occurred leaving your home exactly how they found it.
What To Expect With A Chimney Inspection?
The technician will first conduct a visual chimney inspection, both inside and out. Then, they will use a camera to assess the flue liner, looking for cracks, obstructions, or damage; the damper will also be inspected for proper use. Your technician will also ensure that there is enough clearance between the chimney and any combustible areas located nearby.
Costly Savings
Repairs can get very costly. Finding out about damages sooner rather than later will always be a cost savings. Water intrusion is one of the major problems with chimneys and the one that may lead to deterioration. Tackling any leaks you have early can save you in the long run.
