The smells and sounds of burning logs crackling in an old-fashioned fireplace create a timeless and enjoyable atmosphere in many Atlanta homes. While it provides hours of enjoyment, a fireplace also creates a potential hazard to home and people. Proper chimney cleaning reduces this hazard.
Chimney sweeps clean the fireplace, chimney, and each of their components. The removal of chimney debris, creosote, and other foreign matter, such as bird nests, during a chimney cleaning reduces the risk of chimney fires and fire ventilation problems. Gas logs can help in reducing buildup in the chimney. This section includes more information on chimney cleaning.
Some chimney sweeps will also attend to minor problems with the chimney or fireplace. Damage that is beyond the scope of a chimney cleaner may require the help of a mason or foundation repair contractor. More extensive repairs include fixing deteriorated brick or mortar, correcting a leaning chimney, and replacing a chimney liner.
Apart from aesthetic fireplaces and mantelpieces, chimneys incorporate several different specialized components to keep the fireplace burning safely and prevent heat loss. Read more about major chimney components, including the flue, spark screen, firebox, and other chimney components, and what they do.
Some companies may only offer repair services, whereas others provide both cleaning and minor repair work. For more information on the companies that did very well in the Home Reports research, click here.
