Certified Chimney Cleaning & Repair In Hanover MA
Keeping your chimney in top shape requires periodic maintenance. Above & Beyond Chimney Service works throughout the Hanover MA region to clean, inspect and repair our customers’ chimneys, ensuring that they remain efficient and safe.
Chimney Sweep/Chimney Cleaning
Chimney sweep service scheduled once a year is the best way to keep the inside of your chimney flue clean and reduce drafting problems and the chance of a chimney fire. Chimney cleaning involves two main targets:
- Remove flammable creosote buildups that form every time you burn a wood fire
- Remove drafting obstructions such as falling tree debris and small-animal nests to allow smoke and deadly carbon monoxide to draft correctly
Above & Beyond chimney sweeps are certified through the Full Training and take great pride in the work they do for our Hanover customers. We’re fast, safe, clean and thorough.
Chimney Inspections
Chimney inspections can save you large expenditures by spotting early signs of chimney damage and malfunction. A safety inspection should be performed once a year and overseen by a licensed, certified technician.
Three levels of inspection are recommended:
Level 1: Basic inspection covering all visible areas of the chimney.
Level 2: A more involved inspection often using video scan technology. Level 2 chimney inspections are needed when:
- The home is being sold
- The system is being modified or altered in some way
- Damage to the chimney structure is believed to exist
Level 3: This inspection is performed when significant damage has occurred and may involve removing parts of the chimney structure and adjacent home building materials.
Your Hanover home will be safer by scheduling annual chimney inspections and then having any necessary repair work completed in a timely fashion. We offer all types of chimney repairs.
