Ignoring chimney maintenance can lead to:

Structural Damage: Water damage, cracks, and crumbling mortar can weaken your chimney and lead to costly repairs.

Pro Tip:

Did you know that Conroe's humid summers can contribute to accelerated chimney deterioration? Moisture can seep into cracks and crevices, leading to mold growth and weakening the chimney structure. Schedule a regular inspection to identify and address any potential issues before they become serious.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

We recommend scheduling an annual inspection before the start of each heating season. It's also a good idea to have your chimney inspected after any significant weather events, such as heavy rains or strong winds.

Can I clean my chimney myself?

While DIY chimney cleaning methods exist, they are often ineffective and can be dangerous. It's best to leave chimney cleaning to the professionals. Our experienced technicians have the tools and expertise to safely and effectively clean your chimney.

Creosote is a byproduct of burning wood. Incomplete combustion, burning green wood, and low temperatures can all contribute to excessive creosote buildup.

Yes! A clean and well-maintained chimney improves airflow, allowing your fireplace to burn more efficiently. This can help you save money on your heating costs.

Only burn dry, seasoned hardwood.
