Chimney Sweep
Grand Island homeowners who demand the very best from their chimneys and fireplaces have our certified team of chimney sweeps perform annual chimney cleaning. The target of chimney sweeping is two-fold:
1. Remove flammable creosote. As more and more creosote builds up in your chimney, a greater chance for a chimney fire exists. Creosote is highly flammable and accumulates in the flue every time a wood fire is burned.
2. Remove dangerous drafting obstructions. When your chimney flue is full of outside debris such as the nests of squirrels, birds, rodents, and other small animals as well as leaves, twigs, and fruit from nearby trees, smoke will draft sluggishly and could fill your home with deadly carbon monoxide.
Chimney sweeps certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) have specialized tools and training to keep your chimney clean, safe, and efficient all year long.

Chimney Caps, Flue Covers & Chase Tops
These components are important parts of a chimney system because they prevent water and debris infiltration. Flue covers shield the flue openings. Full-width chimney caps and chase tops protect the flue openings as well as the entire top of the chimney including the cement chimney crown on masonry chimneys.
If you’re using your Grand Island chimney without one of these protective devices, you may be inviting expensive water damage and serious drafting problems. Let us take a look at your chimney and suggest the best way to keep it covered and protected. We install and repair chimney caps, flue covers, and chimney chase top.
