Chimney Cleaning

Chimney cleaning services are needed annually in East Windsor and West Windsor NJ to ensure proper chimney operation, particularly when the venting is for a wood-burning appliance. Creosote is an unavoidable issue to deal with if your favorite kind of fire crackles and releases aromas straight out of nature. The longer creosote deposits build up inside the chimney flue, the greater the risk of a hazardous chimney fire.

CSIA recommends having a chimney sweep clean your chimney once the buildup of creosote is a one-eighth-inch thick layer. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), on the other hand, recommends an annual chimney cleaning regardless of current buildup. For East Windsor and West Windsor NJ residents that frequently use their wood-burning fireplace, chimney cleaning may be needed in mid-winter.

Creosote often builds up in chimneys to the point that it obstructs air flow in the flue, in cases when routine chimney cleaning is neglected. What many don’t realize is that not all creosote in East Windsor and West Windsor NJ chimneys is easy to remove using a professional chimney sweep brush. There are two other types of creosote, and both are much more difficult to remove. So, it is important to address good, old-fashioned chimney sweeping and keep the highly flammable substance from creating expensive and potentially hazardous problems.

Chimney Inspections

The NFPA and CSIA agree that homeowners in East Windsor and West Windsor NJ need the services of a chimney sweep every year for an all-important chimney inspection. For safety purposes, it is impossible to overstress the importance of annual chimney inspections. There are three levels of inspection. The most common is a Level 2 inspection because it is the type of inspection that includes the use of a special video camera that carefully examines the chimney flue from top to bottom.

Anytime real estate changes hands from one owner to another, getting a Level 2 chimney inspection is required, and it is essential to schedule a CSIA-certified chimney sweep.
