"Immediate call when put on Anji as well as call from Shamrock that workers were on their way. Initially requested chimney sweep but upon inspection found cracks in concrete slab on top of bricks. Completed acid wash and new slab installed and this one at 45 degree angle. Very quality and professional work by Shamrock."
"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."
"The technician was personable, and professional. He protected our floors when he did the chimney and fireplace cleaning and made recommendations that were based on the safety of using our chimney and fireplace rather than on his desire to sell a product. He is extremely knowledgeable about what he does and is not in such a hurry that he wouldn't explain or answer questions. The work was done efficiently and we are most pleased with it. I was particularly impressed with his commitment to our satisfaction and enjoyed learning about him and his family. Highly recommended for any kind of chimney work."
It's always a blessing for me and my team to have more opportunities for the cleaning, I'm very serious when it comes to clean, We focus on every detail, to end it up with a shine and bright results.
When working my key values are; Faith without faith all the other values fall flat; integrity to do the right thing even when no one is looking; diligence to get the job done in a timely manner; excellence to provide a job well done and assure lasting quality.
Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.
It depends. For new ovens, it’s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won’t hurt to eat it. If there’s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won’t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.
Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.
Challenges include ensuring structural safety, completing soot removal, meeting restoration codes, and effectively managing insurance claims.
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.
