Before you build your next fire, do you know how safe it can be? It's very common that chimneys go uninspected and rarely cleaned.

Most do not consider the residue build-up from previous fires that are not only harmful but more importantly flammable.

When these chimney fires get out of control, they can lead to costly structural damage, destruction of the home and even the loss of life.

As we face the rising costs of energy, you may consider burning more fires in your home this winter.

Do yourself a favor by eliminating these potential risks. Have a certified chimney service inspect your fireplace annually.

The pictures above are of a chimney "Before" and "After" cleaning. If your chimney looks anything like the top picture, please consider having Attentive Chimney provide you with our cleaning services.
