Why Does My Chimney Need To Be Cleaned?Excess creosote is the most common chimney problem and the main reason people have their chimneys cleaned. Creosote is produced by burning wood. Soft wood (pine, self-starting logs, plywood) produce more creosote than hard wood (oak, aspen, fir) which produce less creosote. Excess build-up of creosote causes fires in the flue and cleaning should be done when creosote buildup reaches 1/8”. More serious chimney problems include insufficient drawing, downdrafts or sparks flying out the top. Solutions include making the chimney taller (we don’t do), opening the damper or repairing the damper (which we do), or adding wind or spark devices to the chimney’s top (which is called capping, and we do that too!) “ I have been using General Services for snow removal and chimney cleaning for over 10 years. Their service is superior. If ever there is a problem (and there hardly ever is), they respond immediately. They know what customer service means, and they deliver. I manage a shopping center that needs attention to detail, especially when it comes to snow removal, and I have never been disappointed their ability to meet my needs. General Services also does chimney cleaning for me on all of my residential units, and my tenants have never had a complaint, and have often complimented the way the service was handled. I would recommend General Services to anyone, and will continue to use them on my properties". Sheri Valentiner, Broker/Owner, Valentiner & Associates
