Who is Sootmaster Chimney Sweep Bluffton SC?
We are a full-service chimney sweep company. Thirty years ago, The cost of home heating was on the rise and so was chimney fires. Bluffton had a shortage of chimney sweeps and it was a struggle to receive quality work in a reasonable timeframe. This caused many to stop using their fireplaces, or attempt to do it themselves. We knew we had to do something. That is why we pride ourselves on having the quickest response time in the industry, back our repairs with industry-leading warranties, and do everything in our power to go above and beyond your expectations every time.

Why is There Sand in My Fireplace?
If you notice that your mortar is crumbling and see signs of small sand deposits in the fireplace or if it crumbles when you run a finger over it you have a problem. When this happens it means that, due to the build-up of creosote, you need to have the mortar replaced or otherwise known as tuckpointing. You see when creosote mixes with water it becomes acidic, this acid can then eat away at the silica in the mortar reducing it back to sand, this is why it crumbles, silica is the bonding agent in a mortar, and if you remove that the mortar is reduced to its original form. This can be repaired by a professional chimney sweep and should be done so as soon as possible. Too much missing mortar can compromise the masonry work and has the potential to collapse your entire fireplace.
