Chimneys in need of repair may be visibly chipped or cracked. As a result, fires may not burn properly or the
flue can seem blocked. Because of the serious problems that can arise in a faulty chimney, repairs should
never be a do-it-yourself project. A professional chimney repair company will identify and discuss which
repairs your chimney may need and which course of action is best.
A professional chimney installation company can help you take the proper steps to ensure that your home or business is prepared for a chimney installation and meets Ontario’s Fire Code. This means a thorough
inspection of the area and its surroundings.
Creosote is an oily black substance that builds up in chimneys over time. It is combustible and if left
unattended, can create a fire hazard or block the chimney completely. Creosote, cracked linings and other deterioration can create dangerous situations, leading to poor indoor air quality, unnecessary pollution or
carbon monoxide dangers.
Chimney health and maintenance is serious business. Proper maintenance can ensure that your chimney
is worry-free and ready to go each and every winter for years to come.
