All American Chimney Service

Sweeping thousands of chimneys throughout Kentucky and Indiana since 2006, we know that our customers' number one concern is the safety of their fireplace. We have developed a proven strategy to address this overwhelming concern. Removing the guesswork that could affect your home's safety, the visual 33-Point Level 1 inspection of your chimney and fireplace includes a complimentary closed-circuit video chimney inspection not usually provided by other chimney service professionals. The inside of your chimney system provides comprehensive information about the condition and safety of your chimney.

All American Chimney Service, LLC was started in 2006 when Doug Hetsch saw the need for a fully-trained and certified chimney service company in the Louisville area. While there were chimney service companies in the area, none were certified in the services they were providing. The chimney sweeps at All American Chimney Service are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) for chimney venting systems and dryer vent safety and cleaning. You never have to worry if the person servicing your vent system or repairing your fireplace is trained and certified, because we guarantee it!

We take great care when feeding the video camera through the chimney liner and flue, while conducting an inspection. The liner and flue are two very important parts to the proper functionality of the entire chimney system. Smoke, carbon monoxide, and creosote have been known to escape through these cracks and become wedged between the liner and the chimney walls, which can be dangerous if left unrepaired. Your chimney should have a non-combustible liner that forces all of the smoke, gases, and other matter up your chimney to the outside.

Water heater and furnace venting problems are dynamic and many times not easily understood or diagnosed correctly. Due to the extensive home damage and serious health concerns associated with improperly vented appliances, it is important to have this problem correctly identified the first time. Call All American Chimney Service, LLC at 502-435-2364 or request an appointment online so we can help.

Although we at All American Chimney Service, LLC specialize in chimney services, restoration, and repairs, we also offer additional home services that should be done annually to maintain a safe home. Many of our clients do not have the tools, expertise, or physical ability to inspect, clean, or repair certain appliances in and around their home. Whether it's rerouting a dryer vent through a wall, cleaning the second story of a gutter system, or inspecting and repairing a water heater or furnace for safety, you know you can rely on All American Chimney Service, LLC to make sure your home is safe from harm.

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that all chimneys servicing a wood burning fireplace or appliance be swept annually. In section 211.13.2 of the NFPA codes it states that residential chimneys and fireplaces shall be inspected at least once a year. While standard fireplaces are what most assume chimney sweeps clean and maintain, we also routinely service wood stove inserts as well as free standing wood stoves. Our goal is to leave the area around your fireplace cleaner than when we arrived because we have homes too, and know how important it is to treat it with respect and care.

Dirty dryer vents are the number one reason for housefires. At All American Chimney Service, we understand the dangers of lint, as well as where it hides out until that one spark sets it off. Certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America, you never have to worry after our technicians visit your home. Statistics from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) indicate that there are over 15,500 residential dryer fires in the United States per year. Originating in dryer exhaust vents, these fires result in personal injury, death, and over $84.4 million in property damage.

There's something about a fire that mesmerizes and evokes a sense of wonder. We've all marveled at the beauty of the dancing flames and been hypnotized by the beautiful shades of orange, red, pink, and purple. Fireplaces allow us to harness that magnificence and enjoy the wonder and beauty safely and conveniently in our own homes. Not every fireplace or appliance is right for every home. Comparing performance, reliability, and overall customer satisfaction, All American Chimney Service has diligently researched and investigated the extensive fireplace options available.

Now offered as an add-on service, gutter cleaning was the first service performed by our founder in 1985. Leaky, clogged, or damaged gutters are one of the leading causes for home repairs. Stagnant water in your gutter is a perfect mosquito breeding ground. Water that's backed-up in the soffit and fascia can cause rotting to the wood and damage to the walls. Clogged gutters can cause water to leak into the home through ceilings, walls, windows, or even the chimney.

The only way to accurately give homeowners complete information in regard to their chimney system is to provide a complimentary closed circuit video scan with every chimney inspection we do. This allows All American Chimney Service, LLC to stay true to one of our primary missions: make sure homeowners have the best information so they can make the best decisions. In providing this to you, we know it gives you peace of mind regarding the current condition of your fireplace as well as a plan of action if repairs are needed.
