Since 2004, we’ve served the greater Granville region with a full menu of chimney and fireplace services. Here are some of the ways we can help you.
Chimney Sweeping Granville OH
Creosote is a major issue with active chimneys connected to wood-burning fireplaces. It forms when smoke condenses in the flue and can be flaky, puffy, sticky or solid. In all forms, it’s highly flammable and acidic.
Our crews use specialized brushes, scrubbers, rods, whips, solvents and commercial vacuums to remove creosote (and debris) from chimneys and greatly reduce the chance of a chimney fire.
As little as one eighth of an inch of built-up creosote has been known to ignite chimney fires, which can be brief and go out on their own or spread throughout the house. Creosote is the #1 cause of reported chimney fires in Ohio each year. Our trained professionals recommend annual chimney sweeping following an inspection.
Licensed Chimney Inspections
Not every chimney problem is visible from the fireplace. Cracks in the flue, damaged chimney liners, loose masonry, and other issues often require a closer inspection to identify.
Many homeowners schedule an inspection before burning season begins, after purchasing a home, or after a severe storm. Others want to know the chimney's condition before lighting the first fire of the season. An inspection provides a clearer picture of what the chimney looks like and whether any repairs should be planned.
We offer the following chimney inspections:
- Basic annual inspections of all readily accessible areas of your chimney and fireplace.
- Real estate video chimney inspections when the house is being sold.
- Upgrade inspections when you’re adding a new appliance to the chimney or otherwise modifying the system.
- Inspections following a lightning strike, chimney fire or other event may have caused damage.
- Comprehensive inspections when major damage is known to exist.
More Than Just Repairs
Some service calls start with a question, not a problem. A homeowner may have just moved into the house and never used the fireplace before. Someone else may be getting ready for winter after the chimney sat unused for several years. In both cases, they want to know the chimney's condition before lighting a fire.
Those visits are just as important. Inspecting the chimney, answering questions, and explaining what we find helps homeowners make informed decisions about any maintenance or repairs they may need.
