Is Your Fireplace Safe to Use?




Unlike most home equipment and many everyday appliances, you can never be 100% sure that your fireplace is safe to operate. You can’t inspect your fireplace or chimney on your own. You don’t know what you’re looking for: What’s bad? What’s dangerous?


That’s why chimney inspection is best left to the professionals. Whether you have a fireplace, furnace or water heater chimney, it should be inspected on an annual basis by an experienced chimney and fireplace inspector like those at Vertical Chimney Care.

Why Chimney Inspection Services




Why Chimney Inspection Services


Regular chimney inspections are necessary to protect your family and your home. A chimney or fireplace inspection can:

  • Prevent a fire caused by the buildup of excessive creosote, which is a highly flammable black coating that results from the by-products of burning.


  • Eliminate obstructions that block the flue and allow backed-up smoke and vapors to enter the home and expose your family to lethal carbon monoxide gas.


  • Minimize the risk of fire, carbon monoxide exposure or water damage caused by damage to the chimney’s flue liner, crown and masonry.
