Chimney And Dryer Vent Project

Having your chimney cleaned is the #1 way to reduce the chance of chimney fire.

About this Project

Chimney cleaning and Dryer Vent cleaning is the core of our business and where we started. The following photos are of some chimneys we’ve seen – some bad, some worse – and will hopefully help you see the importance of having your annual chimney service performed!

SWEPT DAMPER/SMOKE CHAMBER
