Lake View Chimney Sweeping
Chimney sweeping performed once a year accomplishes two important things:
- It reduces the buildup of flammable creosote in your flue
- It removes drafting obstructions like leaves, twigs, nesting materials and other debris
Creosote is the #1 cause of chimney fires in and around Lake View each year. An obstructed flue can send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your home. You can solve both of these problems with annual chimney sweeping by our experienced crew at Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney.
Chimney Caps and Chase Tops
The top of your Lake View chimney must be protected. This is done with either a chimney cap or chimney chase top. These components keep water and debris out of the system and prevent all kinds of potentially serious problems.
We can repair caps and chase tops or replace them with new components. For masonry chimneys, we recommend custom full-width chimney caps that protect the flue opening as well as the vulnerable chimney crown.
