The best time to have your chimney cleaned is in the spring or early summer. Having your flues cleaned early in the year may also help reduce possible problems with fireplace odors when the hot, humid days of the year approach. Scheduling your cleaning in the springtime will also reduce the wait time for an appointment since the fall time is very busy for chimney sweeps. At the time of your scheduled chimney cleaning, we will be happy to schedule your next year's appointment for the following spring or early summer. This alleviates the hassle of trying to remember to call us for service the following year. Scheduling chimney cleanings is important. If left unchecked for a long period of time, you run the risk of a chimney fire. In fact, according to Bob Vila, chimney fires result in over $125 million of property damage every year in the United States.

All chimneys should have caps to prevent leaves, sticks, debris, animals, and most importantly, rain and snow from entering the chimney flue. A chimney without a cap is like having a hole in your roof. Moisture is the largest contributor to the breakdown of chimney interiors and flues. Also, a chimney cap will act as a spark arrestor for any errant sparks that may make their way up the flue. If you're looking for a chimney company in Franklin, MA, give us a call today!

A damper that has come loose or off its frame can be reseated. However, if a damper has become brittle and parts have snapped off, it cannot be repaired. It must be replaced. A replacement damper is installed on top of the chimney flue and is connected by a cable to a bracket secured to the wall of the fireplace. This type of damper is airtight and helps cut down on heat and air conditioning loss when closed. It is recommended that a full-size stainless cap is installed over this type of damper to protect it from rain and snow. Contact us today if you're in need of a chimney company in Franklin, MA.
