"Kevin and Anthony cleaned the fireplace chimney and repair the fireplace. They both were experts in their knowledge of chimneys and fireplaces. They were both very friendly and polite. I would recommend the Shamrock Chimney Company and I would definitely hire them again."

"I had a great experience with Clear Choice Chimney. They performed an inspection on my wood-burning fireplace, explained everything that needed to be done before the upcoming winter, and made sure I understood the condition of my chimney. They completed the necessary repairs, cleaned everything thoroughly, and the entire process was professional and smooth. The team was knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. I?m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable chimney work."

"I called Brenden for an estimate on solving a leaky chimney problem. He got back to me right away and looked at it on his way home that night. While he was up on the roof he found problems with the flashing and that there was no flue lining the chimney. He also pointed out that it would probably be a good idea to redo the flashing on another chimney and to seal the brick on all 3 chimneys we have. He gave me a very reasonable price for the problem chimney and then a small additional price for the others. I have had several other people look at the. chimney and none have been as knowledgable and given me the confidence in their ability that he did. He came back the following week with 2 helpers on a dry but cold windy day and they worked hard and skillfully to complete the job in 1 day. Two days later we had heavy rain and no leaks. I would highly recommend them for any chimney work and will definitely be calling him in the future for other masonry jobs I need done."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop.

Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.

Common issues discovered during a chimney inspection or cleaning include creosote buildup, cracked liners, structural degeneration or masonry degradation, and obstructions such as blocked flues or animal nests. These issues are potential safety hazards that can lead to combustion problems or poor air quality if not addressed.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection.
