Have a Leaky Chimney? We Help With That Too
Water damage is one the biggest issues chimney systems face, so protecting against it is a must. Rain can enter chimneys for a number of reasons – your chimney cap may have been installed incorrectly, maybe your crown was not constructed from the proper materials, and maybe your masonry wasn’t properly waterproofed (or waterproofed at all).
All that said, without a visit and a proper inspection from a knowledgeable chimney technician, there is just no way to know for sure what is causing water to enter your chimney or if your system is at risk.
Fortunately, if you live in Southwest Missouri, SureGlow Stove and Chimney is here to help. We have decades of industry experience, and we pride ourselves on personalizing all of our services to the unique individual needs of our customers.
Set up an appointment with one of our Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certified professionals to check out your leaky chimney today. We offer waterproofing services, masonry repairs, chimney cap installations, chase cover installations, flashing repair and installation, and more.
We Also Offer Fireplace & Stove Installation Services
Looking to have a new fireplace system installed? Don’t trust just anybody to get this task completed – and we strongly advise against the DIY route too. If your system isn’t connected just right or venting appropriately, you’ll invite all kinds of hazards that would put your household at risk.
Rather, count on our team to install any of the following:
- Wood Stoves
- Wood Cookstoves
- Gas Stoves
- Gas Log Sets
- Wood Fireplace Inserts
- Gas Fireplace Inserts
- Electric Fireplace Inserts
- …and more!
Whatever appliance or fuel type you have in mind, we’re certain we can help bring your vision to life.
How Often Should My Chimney Be Cleaned/Swept?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends scheduling chimney inspections and sweepings at least once a year – no matter how often or how little you use your fireplace or the type of fuel you burn. If you use your fireplace on a more consistent basis, you may need to have your chimney cleaned more often, possibly every four to six months.
Wondering if you fall into the “more than one sweeping per year” category? Consider the following questions:
- How often do you use your chimney? If you use it daily or tend to put it to use all year long, then you may need more frequent sweepings.
- How old is your chimney? Older chimneys are more prone to buildup and damages, so booking inspections and sweepings a couple times per year is recommended.
- Do you use wood or do you use gas for fuel? Gas burns far cleaner than wood, so it’s not uncommon for wood-fueled systems to require more frequent cleanings.
- Have you had chimney damage or a fire since your last sweep? Even if you’ve just had a sweeping, any type of weather or fire-related damage requires looking into.
The most straightforward way to determine whether or not your chimney needs to be cleaned is to hire a professional chimney company to look things over. The team at SureGlow Stove and Chimney can come out to your home for an inspection of the chimney, provide recommendations based on the findings of our evaluation, and get you set up on a regular cleaning schedule to keep your fireplace and chimney in pristine condition with every burning season.
Does My Gas Fireplace Chimney Need Sweeping?
Absolutely. It’s a common assumption that, since gas burns so much cleaner, you don’t need chimney or fireplace care from a professional as often, but this is far from the truth. Gas appliances still face risks, like clogging or damage, all of which can put your household in danger.
One of the biggest threats associated with gas fireplaces is having colorless, odorless, and highly poisonous carbon monoxide pour into your home. Just because you won’t have as much soot or creosote build up doesn’t mean outside materials and critters can’t clog up your flue – and if damages are present, you could face a gas leak.
All in all, it’s important to remember that every chimney system, no matter how efficient or well constructed, can face risks. Book your inspection every year to ensure your home stays safer.
What to Expect When Having Your Chimney Swept With Us
After scheduling an appointment with SureGlow Stove and Chimney, one of our certified technicians will arrive at the time designated by you and one of our customer service representatives. Once on your property, we’ll survey and prepare the area for proper chimney cleaning and sweeping. If needed, we will use a drop cloth or plastic covering where we will be cleaning to protect your home and furniture. And we use high-powered HEPA vacuums to make sure no dust, soot, or other debris is left behind.
When the chimney cleaning and inspection process is complete, the technician at your home will give you a chimney report detailing the state of your chimney. At this time, we can discuss future treatment options, if needed.
One thing you can definitely count on when working with us is that we’ll treat your home with respect, ensuring you’re taken care of and get the personalized care you deserve from start to finish. We’re honest, straightforward, and pride ourselves on ensuring you feel good about your home venting needs.
In other words…we won’t overtake your home, barely glance your way, then leave you with a bill for a long list of services you can’t make sense of. Rather, we’ll explain what we’re doing (and why), answer any questions you have along the way, then happily suggest the best next steps for moving forward, all in accordance with your preferences and budget.
