How often should I have my chimney swept?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends annual chimney inspections and cleaning for wood-burning fireplaces. Even if you don’t use your fireplace often, animals, debris, and moisture can cause problems that need attention.
Why is dryer vent cleaning important?
Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires, responsible for thousands of fires each year. Regular cleaning removes lint buildup, improves dryer efficiency, reduces energy costs, and most importantly, keeps your family safe.
