A Detailed Look at Our Fireplace & Chimney Services
Whether you own a home or a business – or both – in Gladwyne, Philadelphia, or anywhere surrounding, we want to be the team you trust to keep your chimney and fireplace system in the best shape possible. Here’s everything we offer:
Chimney inspections involve a thorough overview of the chimney and venting system to ensure all is working safely and efficiently. Our inspections will include checking for any blockages, creosote buildup, and structural issues, as well as ensuring the chimney and fireplace meets all appropriate safety standards and clearances. We also complete fire loss investigations.
The cleaning (or sweeping) of your chimney or flue involves removing soot, creosote, and other debris that can accumulate over time, reducing the risk of chimney fires and ensuring proper ventilation.
Gas Fireplace Service & Installation
There are a lot of benefits to heating with gas (less mess, increased convenience, cleaner burns, etc.), but if your gas system isn’t correctly installed, you could face some serious risks – like carbon monoxide leaks. During our installation process, we ensure that your gas fireplace is safely and properly fitted, including proper connections to gas lines, adequate ventilation, and secure mounting.
After the fact, you’ll want to invest in annual inspections or servicing. This regular upkeep will include inspecting gas lines, burners, and vents to ensure everything is operating safely and efficiently. In addition, gas fireplace cleaning and maintenance helps to prolong the life of the fireplace and maintain optimal performance.
Need gas fireplace repair services completed? We’re equipped to handle those too – make us your one-stop shop for it all.
Wood Stove Service & Installation
Many are opting to add wood stoves to their home due to their unbeatable aesthetic, great heat output, and high efficiency levels. That said, wood stove installation isn’t a DIY project – these systems require specific expertise for both installation and regular servicing.
We complete proper setup of wood stoves, ensuring they are compliant with local building codes and safety standards – and afterwards can inspect and maintain them on an annual basis. Maintenance services include cleaning the stove, inspecting the flue for blockages or damage, and checking seals and gaskets to ensure efficient operation and safety.
And if issues are detected during our inspection process, rest assured, we can handle repair services swiftly and properly.
Do you own a business in or near Gladwyne? We also offer chimney services tailored to commercial properties. This includes (but is not limited to) inspections, cleaning, repair, and maintenance of chimneys used in commercial buildings such as restaurants, hotels, or multi-unit residential buildings.
Commercial chimneys often have unique requirements due to higher usage and more specific and stringent regulations, and we have the tools, knowledge, and experience to tackle any issues thrown our way.
Turn To Us for Chimney Masonry Repair & Restoration Services
Our residential and commercial masonry repair and restoration services cover anything you’ll need for the chimney of your home or business. This can include fixing cracks, repointing mortar, rebuilding damaged areas, replacing brickwork, and addressing any structural issues to ensure the chimney remains safer and more functional.
Our extensive list of chimney repair and restoration services includes:
We Provide Air Duct & Dryer Vent Services
Our services also go beyond chimney and fireplace care to cover other venting needs – namely dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning.
Dryer vent cleaning should be completed annually (at least). It’s an essential part of preventing fires caused by lint buildup in the vent. Our service will involve removing accumulated lint and debris from the dryer vent, thus improving the dryer’s efficiency and reducing the risk of experiencing a fire. Regular cleaning should also extend the life of the dryer and reduce your home energy costs.
Air duct cleaning involves the removal of dust, debris, and other contaminants from the ductwork of a home or commercial building. This will improve indoor air quality, increase HVAC system efficiency, and reduce allergens and pollutants in the air. Clean air ducts also help maintain the system’s longevity and performance.
What Should I Look for in a Chimney Sweep Company?
When selecting a chimney sweep company, it’s essential to ensure they meet high standards of professionalism, safety, and expertise. Here are key factors to consider:
- Certifications & Credentials: Are they certified with reputable organizations, such as the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fireplace Institute (NFI)? These certifications indicate that the company has trained and knowledgeable technicians who adhere to industry standards.
- Licensing & Insurance: Ensure the company is properly licensed to operate in your area and carries adequate insurance. This protects you in case of any damage or accidents during the service.
- Experience & Expertise: A company with several years (or, like us, decades) of experience is likely to have a solid track record and expertise in handling various chimney issues. Choose a company that offers comprehensive services, including inspections, cleaning, repairs, and installations.
- Reputation & Reviews: Check online reviews and testimonials to see what past customers have said about their experiences. Look for patterns in feedback, especially regarding punctuality, professionalism, and the quality of work.
