Chimney Sweep
Whether you’re burning logs or firing up the gas fireplace, chimney maintenance should be a top priority every year.
Unclean chimneys are a leading cause of structure fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association, which recommends an annual chimney inspection.
A 2016 report from the NFPA shows that home heating equipment accounted for 16 percent of home fires and 19 percent of home fire deaths from 2009 to 2013. Thirty percent of fires came from failure to clean the equipment, primarily chimneys.
