Why Choose Old Tyme?
Our professional chimney inspection identifies creosote as well as grime, soot and other gunk that clogs your chimney, creating the risk of fire. A clogged chimney will block carbon monoxide from exiting the home, leading to the inhalation of smoke and other gases that compromise your health. The bottom line is every Cape Cod homeowner and business owner should know creosote is a harmful buildup resulting from fumes and gas byproducts that can cause a fire upon contact with embers.
Aside from creosote, chimneys and fireplaces have the potential to lead to significant problems resulting from improper sealing and cracks that result in leaks. If there are any damp or wet areas by the chimney when it is snowing or raining, a leak in the chimney might be the underlying problem. Old Tyme Chimney addresses these flaws to prevent the growth of mold. Leaks will cause additional damage so don’t delay the inspection and repair of your chimney even one day longer!
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my chimney cleaned?
Most homeowners should have their chimney professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year. Regular chimney maintenance helps prevent dangerous creosote buildup, improves fireplace efficiency, and reduces the risk of chimney fires.
What are the signs that my chimney needs repair?
Common signs include crumbling mortar, water leaks, smoke backing into your home, damaged chimney caps, unpleasant odors, or visible cracks in the chimney structure. Addressing these issues early can help avoid more costly repairs later.
Why is chimney sweeping important for home safety?
Chimney sweeping removes soot, creosote, debris, and blockages that can restrict airflow and increase the risk of fire or carbon monoxide exposure. Routine chimney service helps keep your fireplace and heating system operating safely.
Do you provide chimney inspections for home sales or real estate transactions?
Yes, professional chimney inspections are highly recommended during home purchases and sales. An inspection can identify hidden structural issues, drafting problems, or safety hazards before closing on a property.
