Don’t Risk a Fire—Have Your Chimney Thoroughly Inspected & Cleaned
Chimneys can be an overlooked feature on a home, but if your house has a fireplace, a chimney is a crucial component of your home’s safe operation. Albemarle Chimney Sweep, in Elizabeth City, NC, offers complete chimney services, including thorough inspections and cleanings to ensure that your chimney is in ideal working condition.
If your chimney has not been cleaned within the past two years, you may be inviting a chimney fire. Neglected chimneys tend to build up soot and creosote deposits that burn with the violence of a Roman candle if ignited. They are also less efficient. You’ll feel safer and your fires will burn better when you rely on Albemarle Chimney Sweep for routine care and maintenance.
Chimney Inspections
We’ll check your chimney’s overall condition and look for creosote build-up, blocked flues, leaks, damage, cracks, and other conditions that could cause a fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, or costly repairs.
Chimney Liners
Chimney liners are barriers between a chimney’s flue and walls that are generally made from clay, ceramic, or metal. They insulate and protect a chimney while safely channelling the gas by-products of burning a fire to the outside of your home. We’ll assess your chimney liner during your routine inspection to ensure it hasn’t softened, cracked, or deteriorated. If such conditions are found for your chimney liner, The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends removing, replacing, repairing, or relining your chimney in the interest of safety since a damaged liner can spark a fire, let carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases leak inside your home, and cause your fireplace to run inefficiently.
Chimney Caps—We Carry All Types
Missing chimney caps are the worst for keeping out water. We have replaced and repaired many fireplaces due to water damage that a chimney cap could have prevented. Chimney caps also help keep out squirrels, birds, and other pests and stop sparks from escaping. There are so many types of chimney caps, and we carry them all!
A Note About Safety & Chimney Fire Damage
If you have experienced a chimney fire, please don't use your chimney until a chimney inspection has been completed. We can run a chimney camera to look for any signs of damage to your flue. If your chimney liner is damaged, we’ll work with your homeowners insurance to help with the repair.
