Did you know that even if you heat your home with a fireplace or furnace, both use a chimney that must be kept clean? Chimney maintenance is critical, not just for keeping your home heating system, furnace or fire working properly but also for your safety. Over time, soot and creosote can build up in chimneys which may cause a fire, leading to devastating home damage or worse! Older chimney liners can also cause carbon monoxide build up, which can cause illness or even death.
