The daffodils are blooming and if you look around there are signs of the upcoming warmer weather we have all been anticipating. Most of us are getting ready to give the house a good scrub. Open the windows and let the air blow through ridding the house of the stale odors from those shut up winter months. Your fireplace deserves a good cleaning too! We want a fresh start for spring, cleaning every nook and cranny to make our homes shine like the sun on these bright spring mornings. The fireplace is still the focal point of the home, think spring flowers on the mantel and cool freshly scented candles on the hearth!

In accordance with the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency), chimneys should be inspected annually and cleaning, maintenance and repairs made if necessary. After all those toasty fires, spring and summer are the best times to call your CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep. Yes, it’s time to get the soot and ashes out so the whole house will smell good!

We aren’t just talking about the inside of the chimney either! The exterior chimney, whether brick, wood, or stone, may have suffered from the harsh winter months. There could be leaks, white spots or streaking and water stains that need addressing.

Safety First! Regular maintenance and cleaning of your chimney is the easiest, most cost efficient way to prevent chimney fires. Something so simple may even save your life and your loved ones.  Yet many homeowners don’t think about their chimney cleaning until the fall when they are ready to use it again, but NOW is the best time!

By calling in the spring you have appointment options that are convenient for you, without waiting many weeks like in the fall when the company is heavily scheduled and fighting the dreary weather.

Happy Spring!
