If your property has a fireplace, your chimney requires regular
maintenance. Creosote and soot, a byproduct of the fire, will
harden and create a buildup within the chimney that emits a stale
odor and becomes a potential fire hazard. In accordance with
the National Fire Safety guidelines, we recommend cleaning your
chimney a minimum twice a year.
Window Gang’s chimney sweeping process ensures that you
will have a clean and properly functioning fireplace throughout
the winter. Our crews use drop cloths to protect your flooring
from soot and ashes and industrial vacuum cleaners to remove
all ash and debris.
Window Gang sells and installs chimney caps. Here are three
reasons why every chimney needs a cap:
- Rain protection – water causes the
greatest damage to your chimney of any of the elements. It
soaks into the porous bricks, eats away at the mortar, hastens
the destruction of the chimney liner and destroys the chimney
crown. A chimney cap does a great job of protecting your chimney
from water damage. For maximum chimney protection we recommend
a multi-flue cap, that’s because a multi-flue cap covers
the entire chimney not just one flue.
- Animal protection – one of the greatest
sources of danger for homeowners is the threat of diseases
from animals like raccoons, squirrels, birds, and rodents that
make their home in your chimney. A well made chimney cap will
keep those animals out of your home forever. Sturdy mesh and
a strong lid keep even the most determined critters at bay.
- Spark protection – the mesh screen
on our caps protects your home from sparks emitted from your
chimney. This means less danger of a fire caused by stray sparks
from your fireplace or wood stove.
There are other caps available, but if you want a lifetime protection
for your chimney, buy the best from Window Gang.
