Chimney Sweep
Our trained chimney sweeps focus on two main objectives:
- Remove flammable creosote from your chimney flue
- Remove debris that can cause a drafting obstruction
Creosote is a highly flammable compound that is created whenever a wood fire burns. This substance clings to the walls of your chimney liner and easily can ignite and start a chimney fire.
Obstructions such as bird and squirrel nests, leaves, twigs, falling fruit and other debris can narrow your flue and send smoke back into your Hull home. Smoke is a problem, but a worse problem is the carbon monoxide it carries, which is known to be potentially fatal to humans and animals.
Above & Beyond chimney sweeps will remove creosote and debris from your flue and ensure that your chimney operates as it should.
