Estates Chimney Sweep

Estates Chimney will professionally clean your fireplace or stove, clean-out the flue, flue vent assembly along with your chimney for improved efficiency and perform a safety inspection for one low fee.

Safety is a major concern when it comes to maintaining and inspecting your chimney. It is recommended that you have your chimney serviced on a regular basis or before using your stove or fireplace if it hasn’t been used in a while. Why, you ask? If it isn’t venting properly, smoke and harmful gases could back up into your home.

A substance known as Creosote, a by-product of burning wood, condenses on the relatively cool surface of the chimney. As it builds up it is either black or brown and can be crusty and flaky … tar-like, drippy and sticky … or shiny and hardened. Many times you will see all forms in one chimney. Creosote is highly combustible and if a significant quantity builds up, it can result in a chimney fire. Even though any amount of Creosote can burn, Chimney Sweeps are most concerned when creosote builds up in sufficient quantities to sustain a long, hot, devastating chimney fire.

A well maintained (cleaned and inspected) chimney will not catch fire. Make sure to have your chimney system inspected annually by a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep like Estates Chimney.

One of the key benefits of zero clearance wood fireplaces is that they can be installed in any type of residence, even in many mobile homes. These fireplace are also low-maintenance, as you don’t have to be concerned with costly chimney or masonry repairs, and they are easy to operate and install as well. These fireplaces are also more efficient than an open-hearth masonry fireplace. Open-hearth options may have just 10 percent efficiency, while zero clearance wood fireplaces can have an efficiency rating of up to 70 percent.

Zero-clearance fireplaces are per-manufactured fireplaces that can be installed almost directly against combustible materials like wood, walls, or paneling. The construction and materials of the firebox do not allow the outside temperatures of the firebox to affect those materials and do not require a hearth. Zero-clearance fireplaces do not need a chimney for venting and can be vented through the ceiling or through an exterior wall.

A zero clearance gas fireplace can also replace a per-existing manufactured wood burning fireplace. We will remove the old unit and replace with a highly efficient Gas Fireplace. This also gives a home owner the opportunity to refresh the interior design surrounding the old fireplace.
