Chimney Services & Repair

Chimney Leaks/Diagnosis

The exterior of your chimney can be damaged easily due to the amount of water penetration that it receives. Due to brick and mortar being porous materials, you need to pay attention to the maintenance of your chimney before the repairs are costly. If your area gets a lot of rain/storm, then chimney leak inspections are a must because of the amount of water your chimney receives. Two common repair procedures are Waterproofing and Flashing. This is why for over 15 years, customers around Jacksonville, FL have trusted in A Clean Sweep to repair their chimney or prevent their chimney from getting in irreparable shape.

Chimney Cleaning

Chimney Sweeps

From residential to commercial chimney sweeps, no job is too big or too small for A Clean Sweep. About 25% of all home heating fire incidents are caused by failure to properly clean chimneys. You can reduce the risk of fires started in your chimney through proper maintenance, including annual inspections and mechanical sweeping by our professionally trained chimney sweepers as frequently as needed. 

Creosote

A clean chimney is more for the safety of your household than it is for the appearance. Creosote is a highly-flammable byproduct of wood that has not been completely burned. When wood is burned, not all the smoke escapes the chimney then cool down and become a solid. This leads to creosote which leads to a fire hazard, corrosion on your tiles and an unpleasant odor in your house. Call A Clean Sweep to help your home be safe from fire hazards.

Why Fire Safety is Still Important:

Generations have nestled in the flickering glow of the family fire, sharing the warmth and nostalgia of time well spent. Yet, despite the accumulation of years, not enough attention has been paid to the care and maintenance of one's fireplace and chimney.

The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends a fireplace system be cleaned and inspected annually to protect families from chimney fires. The CSIA lists nationally certified sweeps that are trained to provide real estate inspections and replace aging systems with cutting-edge fireplace performance technology. These inspections are important because chimney systems are actually quite complicated and the diversity of heating appliances remains pronounced. 

Because the industry is unregulated, one finds sweeping companies offering cleaning services for an unbelievable price -- but these companies operate knowing they are at the fringe of a skilled trade and are overwhelmingly untrained. Such sweeps might remove flammable creosote but are indeed a threat to fire safety. Our technicians provide a wealth of information that provides real peace of mind along with years of cozy fires.
