In 1991 we started
video scanning every
chimney we clean. This was an eye-opening experience. Some chimneys that
visually appear in good shape have major problems. Some chimneys that
appear questionable are found to be in good condition. Without the
video scan, your chimney
lining system is a mystery at best. At the worst, dangers lurk, hidden
from view.
A thorough chimney cleaning must be done before the
video scan inspection. |

The cleaning begins when the floor
area is covered with our tarps to protect your carpet or flooring. The
cleaning process includes wire brushing the chimney flue to remove the
creosote build up. In a fireplace, we also brush the smoke chamber/smoke
shelf area and the firebox. For a wood stove, we brush out the stovepipe
and the stove, as well as the flue. To control dust while cleaning, we
run a high powered vacuum, designed specifically for chimney cleaning. |
