It is very important to have your fireplace cleaned regularly. This will ensure that you can use your fireplace worry free knowing that your home and family are safe and sound.
Avalon Chimney Sweeps will send an experienced technician out to clean and inspect your fireplace system. A drop cloth is laid down in front of the fireplace, the firebox walls are brushed down, the areas above below and around the damper are cleaned. Next we make several passes up and down the flue with our rods and brush, whisping away the creosote dust away. throughout the entire cleaning we are inspecting your system making sure it is safe for continued use if not we will inform you of the recommended repairs and in most cases can be preformed the time of the appointment .
CHIMNEY RELINING
When a fireplace flue is damaged or breached a stainless steel liner is need to be installed to make the flue safe for burning wood or gas. A lot of older homes have chimneys that were designed to handle less efficient appliances that spewed out a higher volume of gasses at much greater temperatures. The newer appliances using the chimney (Furnace/Boiler and or Hot Water Herter) require a smaller area for venting because they are more efficient and produce a lesser volume of exhaust gasses at lower temperatures. So when venting newer and more efficient appliances excessive condensation and moisture is generated and absorbed into brick and mortar. This will damage the chimney and cause it to fall apart.
Chimney Accessories
We carry most sizes of chimney covers on our truck, to keep out birds squirrels and raccoons and they also help protest from excessive rain coming down the chimney.
If you are experiencing excessive down drafts the top mount damper assemblies are the cure in most cases. Plus they keep the fireplace from sucking out the heat and air-conditioning. The average fireplace causes the home to loose around 7% of the houses energy year round, that can add up to several hundreds of dollars each year.
