Columbus OH Chimney Sweep | Licensed Chimney Inspections | Expert Service in Central Ohio

Do you know the last time you scheduled a chimney sweep for your Columbus, OH, chimney? How about a proper chimney inspection? If you use a wood-burning fireplace and it’s been more than a year for either of these services, The Chimney Guys would like to share a few reasons to have your chimney looked at sooner than later.

Chimney Sweeping in Columbus OHWhy Chimney Sweeping Is Important

When wood burns, creosote forms inside the chimney flue. This substance is highly flammable and is responsible for the majority of chimney fires reported in and around Columbus, OH, each year.

Creosote should be removed only by professional chimney sweep technicians with brushes, rods, scrubbers and other specialized equipment made for this purpose.

Debris is another reason to have your chimney swept and cleaned out. If you use your chimney without a secure cap, it can open the flue to small animals and all sorts of tree debris that can narrow the flue and cause a drafting blockage.

Smoke backing up into your home is no good. But the biggest concern is the carbon monoxide present in smoke. This gas can’t be seen or smelled, but it’s known to be potentially fatal when inhaled in sufficient amounts.

The Chimney Guys provides chimney sweep service throughout Columbus, OH, and all of Franklin County.

The Value of a Proper Chimney Inspection 

Chimney inspections are another critical service that shouldn’t be neglected. Our technicians understand chimneys from top to bottom and have the training to spot early signs of problems so they can be fixed before they become dangerous.

We provide a full range of chimney inspections in Columbus, OH, including:

Level 1

The basic safety and performance inspection that includes all readily accessible areas of your chimney system. During this annual inspection, we’ll assess creosote and debris buildup and look into chimney leaks, smelly chimneys, drafting problems and other issues.

Level 2

A Level 2 chimney inspection is called for when:

  1. You’re selling your Columbus, OH, home
  2. You’re modifying the system, such as by adding a new chimney liner or heating appliance
  3. Damage is suspected, but a more involved inspection is needed to locate it and understand it

Level 2 inspections include video imaging that allows our technicians to see things within the chimney flue and other “hidden” areas that normally can’t be seen.
