Farmers Branch, Texas
Living in a home that’s free of debris is certainly everything we strive for. Some of us can source it to an unclean carpet that’s trapping dust mights and allergens. Others may find the issue of poor air quality coming from polluters that are circulating through our ventilation system. While it may not be entirely obvious to some, our chimney can sometimes be the cause of unclean air in our home. Gone are the days of the dirty chimney sweep singing the classic melody of “Chim chimidy chim chim charoo”. Here are the days of high-quality chemicals and fancy machinery that make sure every speck of soot is taken care of so that we all may breath in better air. Here are some of the services Chimney Pro Cleaning offers in the Flower Farmers Branch community:
Why Clean Your Chimney?
Taking Care of Our Chimneys
Taking care of our chimneys could mean a longer life expectancy before they have to be entirely replaced. It can also mean bettering the air that you breath. If you can fit it into your schedule, make sure you have an inspection done.
The results could surprise you as most people have a dirtier chimney then they realize.
Having your chimney cleaned at least once a year, preferably when the winter months come to a close, improves your health and increases fire safety.
What Can Be Found In Your Chimney?
Camera Inspection
A simple camera inspection can tell us a lot about a chimney. It lets us know when our lining is dissipating and shows us how much soot is accumulating. Without it, it would be impossible to gather enough information to clean it thoroughly.
Camera inspections can help us quote you a price when it comes to cleaning and lets us know what needs to be done. It’s cheap enough for every homeowner to afford. Camera inspections show us mortar problems and other issues that arise with chimneys.

Chimney Cleaning Services
A quick camera inspection tells us how far this needs to go. Chimney cleaning comes with the highest quality chemicals that wipe away soot so that it doesn’t pollute our air. It’s done in much the classic way except it’s much safer.
The chimney sweep doesn’t go inside the chimney as much as they used to.
It’s done with extenders that allow for better safety while on the job. You shouldn’t worry about their safety as it’s our top priority.
They have the gloves and goggles they need to fix up your chimney without risking their personal safety.
When To Have A Chimney Sweeping Done
You need time to spare to have your chimney properly inspected and cleaned. While it doesn’t have to be very often, you must make the call at least every season to make sure all the grim is swept away, and things like the mortar and firebox are properly maintained. I like to get mine done twice every season.
At the beginning of the winter before the chimney’s in use and after the winter when all the grim is built up.
This adds to personal safety as things like the chimney lining and mortar can be damaged before the winter months begin. Water accumulation is the main cause.
Residential Chimney Cleaning Service?
Fixing The Mortar
The higher quality the mortar, the higher quality the roofing system. Since fixing mortar absolutely cannot be done by the homeowner, we are happy to oblige when it comes to fixing the quality of the system by using drills to wipe old mortar away and replacing it with the finest mortar known to man.
While water is important to our ecosystem and beneficial to our overall health when we drink it, it’s something that doesn’t belong in our chimneys at all. Fixing the mortar can mean less of it leaking in and wrecking havoc with the interior wall. The mortar also keeps the structure of the chimney.
When we lose chimney structure, it can become unstable and loses its shape from the inside out.
Fireplace Installation
Not every home has a fireplace. Having one installed or one replaced can add a lot of value to the home. This can be especially true if you live in a colder climate. Those who live in cold climates often have an AC system that offers climate control.
While these things can be beneficial to keeping the area well warmed, adding something to the living room that you can snuggle up against helps keep your body warmer than it would be by that occasional gust of hot air that comes out of your vents.
The added comfort a fireplace can bring doesn’t stop at its ability to keep us warm during harsher weather, they’re also aesthetically pleasing. A little added fun can be had when you toast some marsh mellows in the hot fire in produces.
Want a fireplace that’s all about the looks? There are fireplaces that simply display an image of wood burning instead of offering a place where soot accumulates and pollutes.
Firebox Repair
Our firebox is perhaps one of the most important features when it comes to our chimneys. It’s responsible for controlling the flame that comes out of it.
Without it being properly installed and repaired every once in a while, flames would just shoot out of it. We want them to shoot vertically instead of diagonally.
To make sure all safety is put in place, you should have a professional chimney sweep keep everything up to its standard.
