Benefits of a Sweep and Inspection 

Fire Prevention

Fire Prevention — Fireplaces create soot and creosote while burning wood. Creosote is extremely flammable and easily combustible in large amounts. A chimney fire not only will be detrimental to the chimney system, but could destroy your home.

Flue Protection

Flue Protection –  An annual cleaning and inspection by an experienced professional will significantly increase the lifespan of the chimney flue liner and ensure the safety of your home. The flue is the gateway that takes harmful toxins, smoke, and gas outside. If the chimney flue becomes compromised by an excessive amount of creosote and soot, then it can cause fires as previously mentioned. It could allow exhaust fumes into your home, leading to health concerns for those inside.

Heating Efficiency

Heating Efficiency – One of the top benefits of owning a fireplace is the ability to efficiently heat your home. Of course, if the fireplace and chimney become clogged with excessive amounts of soot and creosote, then it will fail to efficiently heat the home. An annual chimney sweep will keep your home feeling warm and comfortable throughout the winter months.

.

Prevent Stench

Prevent Stench – During the warmer months, a smelly chimney is the most common sign that your chimney needs to be cleaned. The smell is the result of creosote, soot and animal obstructions building up, moisture entering the chimney, negative air pressure in the home. To avoid the stinky chimney experience altogether, schedule your annual chimney sweep appointment with Sootmaster!

Animal Removal Services in Augusta GA

Squirrels

These furry little ones do not often make their nests in chimneys, but they do manage to do so on occasion. Some squirrels have been known to crawl inside a damper and break it, fortunately, they are removable. Typically they will scurry down a chimney when there is a bad storm to take cover. After storms pass, squirrels tend to find themselves trapped inside the chimney.

Raccoons

As seen here in the photo, we frequently remove families of raccoons from chimneys. In this specific job, we were able to remove and relocate a mother and her five cubs safely and quickly. Raccoons do carry a number of diseases, it is dangerous for you to attempt to remove them, as well as a safety concern to operate your fireplace. Though have the ability to climb out, there are occassions where they get stuck in the chimney flue.

Birds

Nesting happens very often in many chimneys. Odds are in your lifetime, you will have some kind of bird in your chimney. Birds cause a number of problems in the chimney, normally starting with a draft issue or a bad smell. Some birds, however, carry Histoplasmosis, a fungus carried in the feces of birds and bats. Histoplasmosis often causes fever, cough, fatigue, chills, headache, aching, and chest pain. If you have any of these symptoms, speak to a doctor, and give us a call.

Bats

Like many animals, Bats are drawn to chimneys because they are dark, enclosed places. Bats, like birds, carry a lot of diseases and fungus, including Histoplasmosis and more. Bats can be a danger to you as well as themselves, so please do not attempt to move them yourself. Unlike birds, bats cannot fly  straight up causing them to become trapped.

Chimney Swifts

Chimney swifts are a special case when it comes to animal removal. They are a federally protected migratory bird, and they often roost in chimneys due to the easy grips on the wall. These birds roost vertically, clinging to the walls. Chimneys become ideal spaces because of protection from predators and the elements.
