Philadelphia Chimney and Fireplace Companies

It is recommended that you have your chimney cleaned and inspected on an annual basis by a professional. A technician will inspect both the interior and exterior of the structure in order to ensure that it is free of any obstruction or combustible material. Creosote, which is the technical name for soot, builds up when flue gases are too cool, and its accumulation makes for a very dangerous, very flammable hazard. While there are steps that you can take to limit creosote buildup, it's best to annually contact a professional to be sure that it—and other hazards—are not putting your home at risk. The Best Pick contractors below are ready to assist.
