While many homeowners think a chimney cap is just to keep out rain, it actually serves several important purposes. A well-fitted cap helps stop birds, squirrels, and other animals from nesting inside your flue, which can cause dangerous blockages. It also prevents sparks 

Depending on how often you use your fireplace, you should clean your chimney at least once a year. Heavy use or burning wood with more sap may require more frequent cleaning. Learn the best schedule for your home.

Thousands of chimney fires occur each year due to built-up creosote. Regular chimney sweeping removes flammable debris and keeps your fireplace safe. Don’t wait for warning signs — stay ahead with preventative care.
