Chimney Inspection Cleaning “The scope of work performed in the inspection or evaluation of a fireplace, stove or other venting system had previously been left to the discretion of the chimney service technician. On January 13, 2000, the National Fire Protection Association adopted these levels of inspection into code NFPA 211 (Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances) that remove much of that “discretion”. Inspections are now clearly defined as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 .” » more info

Chimney Inspection Cleaning (sweeping) is the main job of the Chimney Sweep – We remove dangerous, flammable creosote from inside the chimney.
Neglected & unsafe chimneys account for a significant number of injuries and deaths each year totaling more than $200 million in property losses every year.

Protect your San Diego home
Every time you burn a fire in your fireplace, combustible by-products are deposited in the chimney flue in the form of creosote and soot. Creosote is a black tar-like residue that is extremely flammable! Hot embers from your wood burning fire may come in contact with creosote. This is a potentially dangerous fire hazard.
The buildup of creosote and soot can also cause a dangerous blockage that not only interferes with the performance and efficiency of your fireplace, but lead to carbon monoxide backing up in your living area.
Don’t take chances with the safety of your home and family. Make sure that your chimney and fireplace system is cleaned and inspected annually to help prevent chimney fires and dangerous carbon monoxide Poisoning.
