Hartford, CT Chimney Installation

Hartford, CT Chimney Inspection

Chimney inspection is an important aspect of chimney service that can't be done by unprofessionals; instead, it is to be handled by experienced chimney and fireplace inspectors at Extreme Chimney Sweep.
With the aid of our inspector's trained eyes and professional imaging chimney inspection system, we take a video record of the narrow chimney structures to identify faults and obstructions within them. Whether you are moving into a new home or you don’t use your chimney often, it is recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to inspect your chimney at least once a year.

In addition, the National Fire Protection Association has three levels of chimney inspection which we define into phases, and they are:

• Phase 1: It is a basic operation we carry out for chimneys that are in good condition or don’t need a refix. We inspect easily accessible parts of chimneys to keep them in good condition and prevent blockage buildup that can cause fire hazards.
• Phase 2: At this phase, our experts use advanced technology like chim scans and other advanced imaging devices to inspect not-easy-to-access parts of the chimney.
• Phase 3: This happens when serious chimney issues require us to remove parts of the chimney that are hard to reach in order to fix the problem.

Professional Chimney Sweep

Our chimney sweep service is an integral preventive measure we take to keep chimneys safe and prevent potential fire hazards. Debris, waste, animal waste, and flammable substances such as creosote and soot accumulate within the chimney system, which clog the system and increase the risk of a fire outbreak. To prevent this unfortunate incident, hire a chimney sweep service by our experts.
Our experts clean up all the chimney appliances, from the chimney cap down to the fireplace. They remove ash, soot, creosote, and debris so well that you won’t notice any stains around your chimney, ensuring no mess ends up in your house.

Why Should I hire a Professional Chimney Sweep?

Many home or property owners don't pay attention to their chimneys, fireplaces, and hearths, especially during hot weather. Some of them attempt to sweep chimneys themselves. However, a professional touch from Extreme Chimney Sweep's experts provides a deep chimney sweep service to all the components of a chimney.
Our deep sweep improves the draft supply to the stove or fireplace so that it burns clean and the smoke moves upwards towards the chimney's cap and not into your space, keeping you safe from the disturbance of smoke while it works efficiently.

FAQ

• What should I do if my chimney is giving off a bad smell? If your chimney gives off a bad odor, primarily it is an issue of airflow within the chimney system, causing odors to come into your home instead of going up the chimney. And it could be caused by excessive debris, animal waste, or excessive creosote or soot within the chimney structure. To fix this, the chimney needs to be inspected and repaired as soon as possible to improve the air quality of your indoor environment.
• Do you clean the fireplace? Yes, we clean fireplaces and burning appliances as part of our chimney sweep services. That being said, you can use our service for fireplace cleaning only.
• What credentials or certifications do your technicians hold? Our commitment to excellence has made us hire only technicians that are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and masonry specialists that are certified by the Masonry Heater Association of North America (MHA).
• How do you get rid of live animals in Chimney? We use our professional imaging chimney inspector to check whether there are live or dead animals within the chimney. In cases where the animal is alive, we contact animal control to assist with the removal. After safe removal, we proceed with cleaning and covering the areas that the animal gained access to in the chimney.
