National Chimney Cleaners provides expert chimney sweeping and licensed chimney inspections throughout Norwalk, CT, and Fairfield County, CT, to make sure your chimney works the way it should.
The chimney sweeping process utilizes specialized tools, equipment, and solvents to remove creosote and debris from chimney flues.
Creosote forms when smoke condenses in the flue during a wood fireplace fire. It’s highly flammable and is the cause of most reported chimney fires in the Norwalk, CT, area each year.
Chimney sweeping also removes tree debris, the nests of small animals, and the animals themselves that have died in the chimney. All this material can cause a serious drafting obstruction and send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your Norwalk, CT, home. A proper chimney cap or top-mount chimney damper will keep debris and animals out.
We recommend that you have your chimney swept once a year. After working with you the first time and getting an idea of how much you use your fireplace, we might recommend sweeping more or less often than once a year.
Many chimney fires are brief and happen without anyone knowing they’re happening. But all chimney fires can be destructive. By minimizing creosote in your flue, you’ll reduce the chances of experiencing a chimney fire.
We perform chimney inspections during chimney sweeping projects and also as an independent service.
