What’s the Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning Process Like?

When you book your chimney sweep with SureGlow, we brush your chimney using all of the appropriate equipment – like special rods, chimney brushes, hand brushes, and a high speed vacuum. Using these tools, we will remove all of the brushable soot and creosote without damaging your fireplace or causing a mess in your home. 

We also use drop cloths, rug runners, and tarps, as needed, to protect your furniture and floors. Then, using our high-speed vacuum, we remove all the brushable soot and creosote as quickly as possible so that your home stays as clean and mess-free as possible. 

To sum up, our technicians use a very careful process to treat your home with respect and make sure to leave it in excellent condition when your chimney cleaning is complete.

During your cleaning, our technicians will also inspect the fireplace and chimney and notify you of any concerns. Every SureGlow technician has the expertise to diagnose your chimney and offer recommendations regarding proper care and maintenance.

Experiencing Chimney & Fireplace Smoke Problems?

When you burn wood in your fireplace or stove, you know the smoke should travel up your chimney and out of your house. Unfortunately, this isn’t always how things go. If smoke from your fireplace is escaping into your home, this can happen for a variety of reasons. Most likely, though, you have either failed to open your damper or you are experiencing a drafting problem.

Your chimney flue is the most common culprit when it comes to drafting problems. Here are some of the most common issues we come across:

  • Blockage or Buildup: If your damper is open, but your chimney still smokes all of the time, there is likely something blocking your chimney. This could be an animal nest (birds, bees, raccoons, squirrels, etc.) or extreme creosote buildup.
  • Damper Malfunction: Perhaps your damper is open, but it isn’t opening all the way. It could be stuck or broken, in which a replacement part may be in order.
  • Improper Chimney Height: If your chimney is less than 10 feet at its highest point, it may not be able to draw air properly.
  • Chimney Size Issue: If the chimney is too small for the firebox, smoke won’t be able to draft up through the chimney properly. We can look things over to see where you stand.

If you have a smoke problem, the first thing to do is call us. Your problem should be diagnosed by a chimney care professional. Sometimes it is easy to determine why your chimney is smoking – but not always. Give us a call today and we’ll help track down the source of your smoky fireplace problem.

Do I Need a Chimney Chase Cover?

Do you own a prefabricated chimney? Then, yes, a chase cover is definitely needed. Chase covers are designed to cover the top of your chimney chase, ensuring weather elements and debris can’t easily enter, while also directing water out and away from the sides of your flue. 

You can get chimney chase covers in galvanized steel and aluminum, but to get the long-lasting coverage you deserve, we recommend going with a stainless steel or copper option. While pricier upfront, these last much longer, saving you money in repair and replacement costs over time.

Can I install my own chimney chase cover?

We don’t recommend this. Because these components are so important for preventing water from entering the interior of the chimney structure, they need to be fitted tightly and correctly. If put on wrong, staining can eventually form on your siding as water runs down your home. In addition, your interior flue and fireplace materials will be more prone to water damage.

If you notice any discoloration on or near your chase cover, it’s time to call a professional. If you wait too long, water can damage more than just your chimney – it can cause issues throughout your home. Call SureGlow Stove & Chimney today.
