"They replaced it with a metal screen so that it wouldn't cause a fire in the future. The technicians was prompt, courteous and explained everything thoroughly. They were also very good at getting me on the schedule asap even though it was the busy season. I had to get the fireplace fixed before closing on my home and they were very responsive in my time of need. They also did a full chimney sweep and inspection."

"Anthony and his partner inspected and cleaned our chimney. They were thorough, professional, and even advised us of exterior parts of the chimney that were potential cause for concern: the chimney caps, and flashing seal were in need of replacement and repair. If you need chimney work done, call Top Hat Chimney Service to get the help you need. Thank you!!"

"I had GEM Chimney & Duct complete a full chimney cleaning and safety inspection at my home on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. They removed heavy creosote buildup, checked for blockages, and even handled some minor mortar repairs to make sure my chimney was safe and efficient. Their certified team came the same day, and it gave my family peace of mind just in time for the heating season."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Yes, many providers offer 24/7 emergency repair services to prevent inventory loss.

Yes, a bowl of vinegar can absorb smoke. If you want to use this method to reduce the smoke smell in your house, all you have to do is leave a bowl (or multiple bowls) of white vinegar out overnight. Alternatively, you can use bowls of baking soda, coffee grounds, or activated charcoal.

If your oven is new, then it’s likely that the oven smoking is due to it being a new unit. In this case, you don’t need to worry about the oven smoking. However, if your oven is old, you can’t identify any burnt food or grease that could be behind the smoking, or you have concerns about the heating element, then you should hire an oven technician to inspect your unit.

All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won’t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.

You’ll know you have smoke damage if you notice a lingering smoky odor, see soot or residue, or spot any discoloration of surfaces in your home. If you have any kind of house fire, always assume you have smoke damage and hire a professional who deals with smoke damage to assess the extent of the damage and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.
