Environmental Chimney Sweep

What we don't think about are the environmental problems, including illnesses, that these chimneys can cause. These illnesses can be mild, but they can also be severe and even cause loss of life. It happens all the time from carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide poisoning. Environmental Chimney Service (Western North Carolina's only 5-star service), located between Asheville and Hendersonville, North Carolina understands that the safety of your family includes protecting them from all potential dangers from fire and illnesses caused by not keeping your chimney appliance in top working condition.

Environmental Chimney Service offers a wide variety of chimney services in North Carolina regarding the new build, maintenance, and repair of chimneys. We take great pride in our work, and endeavor to provide each of our clients a chimney that is environmentally safe for your family. In addition to comprehensive chimney care, we also provide dryer vent cleaning services. Your lint trap isn't the only part of your dryer collecting lint and other flammable debris — your dryer vents are too! Increase dryer efficiency, reduce fire risk, and lower your utility bills by having your dryer vents regularly cleaned by the pros.

A throat damper is located just above the firebox, and is controlled by a lever in the firebox. Below, you will find a diagram of a chimney with a throat damper. Remember that you chimney needs regular inspections to maintain safe operation, so call us today to ask about this important chimney service.

While there is a lot of great information in regard to inspections, it's the actual chimney cleaning that makes the greatest difference year in and year out to the safety and home environment for you and your family. Chimney sweeping removes the layers of creosote and dangerous build-up that is formed during normal use of your fireplace. These materials are highly flammable and can create a virtual tinderbox in your chimney if not removed on an annual basis. We have provided a video from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) about how Environmental Chimney Service will sweep and inspect your fireplace.
