It’s vitally important that Alexandria homeowners have their chimneys professionally swept and cleaned at least once each year – especially before the chilly winter months set in and you’re tempted to light a fire in that fireplace.
Chimney cleaning and fireplace cleaning is so important because dirty chimneys – the masonry caked with soot and creosote, the flue blocked by debris – are a very real safety threat to Alexandria homes.
Regular chimney sweeping means much more than standard house maintenance. Hiring top-notch, experienced professionals like JCS Home Services for your next chimney cleaning and fireplace cleaning project is like buying insurance against a possible chimney fire – and the potential for horrific damage such an event could cause.
Did you know that chimney fires can go undetected? It’s true. Your Alexandria house may have already experienced a chimney fire without you even realizing it. In fact, approximately 25,000 chimneys catch fire in American homes every year, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage – and, regrettably, sometimes costing lives too.
The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA.org) warns that the existence of creosote within the fireplace, flue, and chimney column is an indication that a chimney fire is eminently possible – or even that a chimney fire has already occurred.
Creosote is the accumulation of soot, unburned wood, and other detritus that cakes the interior walls of a chimney. It’s highly flammable – and it’s the primary reason why you should hire the chimney sweeps of JCS to perform a chimney inspection and chimney cleaning periodically (at least annually, if not more often).
Watch for these warning signs (and call JCS Home Services at 571-299-9389 right away for the inspections and repairs that prevent the unspeakable):
If you suspect any of these symptoms in your Alexandria house – or better yet, if you want to avoid seeing these danger signs altogether – then please make a chimney cleaning and chimney repair appointment with the professional rooftop chimney sweeps of JCS Home Services in Alexandria.
