Likewise, our second main goal is to make sure there is no soot or creosote buildup. The Chimney Safety Institute of America suggests getting your chimney cleaned when just 1/8 of an inch of buildup is present.

Allow us to make this clear: if there is creosote buildup in your chimney greater than an eighth of an inch, it is puts your family and home at risk. as well as a great health hazard for you and your whole family. Therefore, we use a special device that help us see the inside of your chimney. While doing this, we look for any signs of buildup that could lead to a fire. If we do spot a sooty buildup, we will remove it so you can safely use your fireplace.
