Animal and Blockage Removal
It is not uncommon for a chimney to become blocked. This may be caused by loose masonry and other debris, but blockages are most commonly caused by animals making a home of your chimney; be it squirrels or birds. Clearing a blockage generally takes more time, a lot of work and requires various chimney tools. We clear blockages and animal nests every year. This is most common in the spring, but can happen at any time.
A QUOTE WILL BE PROVIDED UPON VISUAL INSPECTION
WOOD BURNING SYSTEM INSPECTIONS
Inspections for wood-burning systems (fireplaces, chimneys, wood-burning stoves) are conducted for a variety of reasons. Typically they are conducted for insurance purposes, for real estate transactions or to investigate a concern with the way the system is functioning.We offer a basic inspection with every service but if your insurance company or realtor requires a more thorough inspection we offer two levels of inspection that will be performed by WETT certified Inspectors.
