Why Hire a Certified Chimney Sweep?
When it comes to chimney care, experience and expertise go hand in hand. Wells & Sons employs a highly skilled team of CSIA-certified chimney sweep technicians. This certification means they have undergone rigorous training and testing every two years to maintain their certification for:
Repairs & Installations
Our certified technicians handle any repair, from damaged bricks to installing stainless-steel liners and fireplace inserts. Even partial or complete chimney rebuilding is in our ballpark.
Chimney Inspections
Fire prevention is the primary purpose of chimney inspections. A certified sweep can identify potential problems deep within your chimney system and recommend repairs. By addressing these issues early, you can prevent more extensive damage and save on repair costs. It is also a perfect opportunity to uncover cracks or worn components before they fail and cause a water leak.
Chimney Cleaning
Regular chimney cleaning and maintenance by our certified professionals can extend the lifespan of your chimney, flue, and heating appliance, reducing the need for premature replacement.
Residential Chimney Sweeping
Keeping your home's chimney clean is essential for maintaining a safe and cozy fire-burning experience. Wells & Sons' residential chimney sweeping services include:
- Professional Cleanings: Our certified technicians will remove soot, creosote, and other debris from your chimney, ensuring proper ventilation and reducing the risk of fires and exposure to toxic carbon monoxide (CO) fumes.
- Detailed Inspections: We will conduct a thorough inspection of your chimney system, identifying any potential problems such as cracks, leaks, or damaged flue liners. Our technicians are qualified to perform all three levels of chimney inspections per National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Standards & Codes, which have been adopted by many state and local government agencies.
- Safety Advice: On-site technicians will provide valuable recommendations to keep your chimney, vents, and heating appliances functioning safely and efficiently throughout the year.
Commercial Chimney Sweeping
Regular chimney cleaning is essential for businesses that rely on chimneys for heating or industrial processes. Wells & Sons' experienced technicians use specialized equipment to sweep masonry and manufactured chimneys. We take great pride in our ability to thoroughly clean and inspect your commercial chimney system, ensuring:
- Improved Efficiency: Clean chimneys allow for proper airflow, maximizing the efficiency of your heating system and reducing fuel costs.
- Reduced Fire Risk: A buildup of creosote, debris, and critters in the chimney can increase fire risk and exposure to harmful contaminants from smoke inhalation. Regular cleaning minimizes this risk, protecting your property and employees.
- Compliance with Regulations: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires businesses to have a documented fire prevention plan in compliance with CFR 29 to safeguard employees from fire hazards. Our CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep® technicians will ensure that your business adheres to or surpasses all federal, state, and local building codes and safety regulations.
