Chimney Sweeping

Chimney cleaning and maintanence is essential in keeping your home and safe. Burning wood in a fireplace or stove leaves behind a flammable substance known as creosote (more commonly dubbed “soot”). If it’s not cleared away regularly, a chimney fire might happen. Avoid taking the risk!

Although Omaha delivers vibrant full seasons, it’s harsher winter months can affect your chimney over time. Even if you use your fireplace infrequently, it might be suffering from other issues you should be aware of, such as:

Cracked crowns ,
Faulty air shutters,
Water penetration that leads to leaking

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer Vent Cleaning

It is recommended to have a professional clean your dryer’s ventilation system once a year. Additionally, inspect the vent and surrounding area every six months to ensure there is no damage. Over time, small holes may develop in the flexible connector behind the dryer, which can allow dust or carbon monoxide to enter. Note that plastic flexible connectors do not meet code requirements and should be replaced with a semi-rigid aluminum connector or an equivalent approved product.

Total Water Protection

Water damage is no joke! Overlooking a leaky chimney can lead to costly damages down the road. Understanding the causes and the urgency of addressing chimney leaks is crucial for home owners and property managers.

Are There Chimney Inspection Regulations?

You bet! Before honoring their warranties, most manufacturers require consumers to follow the regulations set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). For stoves that burn cord wood and bio-fuel pellets, the recommendation is an annual sweep. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when the soot level reaches 1/8” thick on the inside walls of the chimney.

The NFPA’s Document 211 reads, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” It’s advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace so often, you ought to arrange an inspection to verify that your chimney and fireplace lack issues such as loose dampers, leaves or nesting debris blocking the flue, or broken air shutters.

You ought to have a professional clean out your dryer’s ventilation once a year. The vent and its surrounding area ought to be inspected every 6 months to be sure there’s no damage.
