Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps removes chimney blockages caused by pests and wildlife

When you live this close to water, your home is sure to attract local wildlife. Chimneys make great homes for our feathered friends and other wildlife (like bees). So if you find nesting materials or honey dropping into your firebox, hanging from your chimney cap or crown, or on the ground near the base of your chimney, call Fire-Safe for an inspection before your next fire. We can safely remove bird and bee nests and inspect for any residual damage.

Living in Chester can also cause additional wear and tear on your home’s chimney due to higher local humidity and airborne salts from surrounding brackish water which chemically bond with masonry. Leaks, crumbling brickwork, staining and more can slowly and invisibly deteriorate an otherwise beautiful chimney. No chimney lasts forever without a little TLC now and then, but with an annual cleaning and inspection by Fire-Safe, we’ll help to ensure that your chimney remains as care-free and structurally sound as possible.

We are certified to clean gas and oil furnace flues, too!

Natural gas is a clean-burning fuel, but gas heating systems still require regular maintenance. Gas furnaces and boilers produce high levels of water vapor which condensate in your furnace flue. Air from inside your home carries dust and other particles into the combustion chamber where they are burned to ash and then adhere to the condensation. If not removed, this soot can create very corrosive conditions for your flue, leading to premature failure and entry of poisonous gases into your home.

Oil flues especially need annual cleaning and inspection. The build-up of soot from improper oil combustion can lead to chimney fires, flue deterioration, or chimney blockages that also can force toxic fumes back into your home. Improper drafting can cause inefficient furnace operation leading to higher fuel costs. Gary and sons have extensive knowledge of gas and oil furnace systems.
