Cleaning -
The chimney liner of your gas furnace, boiler, or water heater can
deteriorate and fail (all unseen), causing carbon monoxide poisoning, soot blow-back and
major clean-up expenses. DME provides no mess chimney sweeps!
Obstruction free assurance -
Some of the many causes of a chimney blockage include collapsed liners - bird, squirrel,
raccoon nesting/debris/feces, or years of
neglect resulting in packed soot blockages usually found at the base of the furnace
chimney. A blocked chimney will force the carbon monoxide exhaust back into your home.
Chimney sweeps alone will not remove these types of blockages.

Finding a Qualified Long Island Chimney Sweeping Company
Every year, homeowners spend millions on remodeling and repairing their homes, but
unfortunately they fail to include the one area of a house that could save them from the
potential disaster of losing it all. A lot of people seem to believe that their chimney only
needs ongoing cleaning and maintenance by a Long Island chimney sweeping contractor if
they use a wood burning stove or fireplace. While chimneys attached to wood burning
appliances do need extra attention, the truth is no matter what fuel you use, wood, coal, oil
or gas, any appliance that heats your home depends on the chimney to safely remove the
toxic gases that are created.
Long Island chimney sweeping professionals provide a very necessary service for those that
heat their home with any type of fuel, especially those with fire places and wood burning
stoves. Routine cleaning done by a professional Long Island chimney sweeping company is
a peculiarly important step in preventing chimney fires. A chimney fire can be caused by a
buildup of a highly flammable black sticky substance called creosote. Creosote forms on the
lining of the chimney due to the incomplete combustion of condensed smoke. In some
instances a chimney fire may be limited to the chimney but sparks and heat created can
ignite other nearby combustible objects, such as the interiors of walls, attic spaces or the
roof.
Before You Hire any Long Island Chimney Sweeping Company
You could clean the chimney yourself or call a reliable Long Island chimney sweeping
professional to do the job for you. Before you decide to tackle the job yourself you need ask
yourself a few questions. Do you have a fear of heights? Do you feel comfortable on a
ladder? Do you even own a ladder? What about your physical condition? Cleaning a
chimney can be exhausting work not to mention, potentially dangerous, time consuming and
extremely messy. Ultimately you might find you’re better off having the job done by a
qualified Long Island chimney sweeping company.
Increased demand for chimney sweeping services has lead to a number of disreputable
companies cropping up with the only intention being to take your money and run. So it’s very
important that you do a thorough background investigation of any Long Island chimney
sweeping company you might consider hiring. Ask for proof of identity and any other
credentials. Call your local Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have ever been
filed.
Things to Ask the Long Island Chimney Sweeping Contractor
Before you decide to hire any Long Island chimney sweeping company, you should ask
about the company's qualifications or the chimney sweep's degree of training. A trained
chimney sweep should do more than run a wire brush through the chimney several times
and leave. Most chimney sweeping companies belong to trade associations and must follow
strict training guidelines. A Long Island chimney sweeping professional that works
independently may often receive their certification by taking courses from a local fire safety
training center.
Make certain the Long Island chimney sweeping professional is insured. As with any other
contractor a chimney sweep should have valid liability and workman’s compensation
insurance in place. Don’t mistakenly believe that your homeowner’s insurance policy will
cover any mishaps. It may not. Any time you have someone come on your property to do a
job you run the risk of a possible accident. You could be held liable for medical and other
expenses if the Long Island chimney sweeping contractor doesn’t have the proper
insurance. It simply isn’t worth the risk.
Pricing of a Long Island chimney sweeping service can sometimes be an indication of the
quality or extent of the job they do. Cleaning a chimney involves more than a couple of
passes with a brush but if the price is cheap, that may in actuality be all you will get. Get
quotes from a few different chimney sweeping companies to find out the current average
pricing. If a price seems comparatively low, you may not be getting the quality of service that
you need. The peace of mind you’ll receive from having the job done right will be worth the
extra money you’ll spend for a qualified Long Island chimney sweeping professional.
If you are concerned about your budget, look for a Long Island chimney sweeping company
that does inspections and cleanings only. Some chimney sweeps work for large heating
equipment and maintenance companies and if they discover any problems they may try to
convince you to have work done that you can’t afford. Of course repairs may indeed be
needed but you should have the opportunity to shop for the company that can offer you
something you feel you can afford. A Long Island chimney sweeping contractor has a
responsibility to tell you if something needs repairing but they should never pressure you
into allowing them to do the job.
Scheduling an Appointment with a Qualified Long Island Chimney Sweeping
Company
The time of year for scheduling an appointment can be important. If you need to hire a Long
Island chimney sweeping professional be sure to plan ahead. Many people will want to hire a
chimney sweep just before the onset of the heating season only to discover there is a long
waiting list. Just like any other contractor, a chimney sweeping contractor has a busy season
and you might find it difficult to schedule an appointment if you wait until the last minute.
Late spring or summer may be a much better time to schedule a chimney cleaning since it’s
likely that the Long Island chimney sweeping company won’t be so busy.
No matter the type of fuel you use to heat your home it’s important to make sure your
chimney is in good condition. If you rely heavily on wood as a source of heat, two or three
cleanings during the heating season would not be excessive. Even if you only use your
fireplace or wood stove for the occasional ambiance you should have your chimney
inspected on a regular basis. A yearly cleaning and inspection by a qualified Long Island
chimney sweeping service is a small price to pay to protect your family from the dangers
associated with chimney fires and dangerous carbon monoxide gases.

Before You Hire any Long Island Chimney Sweeping Company
You could clean the chimney yourself or call a reliable Long Island chimney sweeping
professional to do the job for you. Before you decide to tackle the job yourself you need ask
yourself a few questions. Do you have a fear of heights? Do you feel comfortable on a
ladder? Do you even own a ladder? What about your physical condition? Cleaning a
chimney can be exhausting work not to mention, potentially dangerous, time consuming and
extremely messy. Ultimately you might find you’re better off having the job done by a
qualified Long Island chimney sweeping company.
Increased demand for chimney sweeping services has lead to a number of disreputable
companies cropping up with the only intention being to take your money and run. So it’s very
important that you do a thorough background investigation of any Long Island chimney
sweeping company you might consider hiring. Ask for proof of identity and any other
credentials. Call your local Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have ever been
filed.
Things to Ask the Long Island Chimney Sweeping Contractor
Before you decide to hire any Long Island chimney sweeping company, you should ask
about the company's qualifications or the chimney sweep's degree of training. A trained
chimney sweep should do more than run a wire brush through the chimney several times
and leave. Most chimney sweeping companies belong to trade associations and must follow
strict training guidelines. A Long Island chimney sweeping professional that works
independently may often receive their certification by taking courses from a local fire safety
training center.
Make certain the Long Island chimney sweeping professional is insured. As with any other
contractor a chimney sweep should have valid liability and workman’s compensation
insurance in place. Don’t mistakenly believe that your homeowner’s insurance policy will
cover any mishaps. It may not. Any time you have someone come on your property to do a
job you run the risk of a possible accident. You could be held liable for medical and other
expenses if the Long Island chimney sweeping contractor doesn’t have the proper
insurance. It simply isn’t worth the risk.
Pricing of a Long Island chimney sweeping service can sometimes be an indication of the
quality or extent of the job they do. Cleaning a chimney involves more than a couple of
passes with a brush but if the price is cheap, that may in actuality be all you will get. Get
quotes from a few different chimney sweeping companies to find out the current average
pricing. If a price seems comparatively low, you may not be getting the quality of service that
you need. The peace of mind you’ll receive from having the job done right will be worth the
extra money you’ll spend for a qualified Long Island chimney sweeping professional.
If you are concerned about your budget, look for a Long Island chimney sweeping company
that does inspections and cleanings only. Some chimney sweeps work for large heating
equipment and maintenance companies and if they discover any problems they may try to
convince you to have work done that you can’t afford. Of course repairs may indeed be
needed but you should have the opportunity to shop for the company that can offer you
something you feel you can afford. A Long Island chimney sweeping contractor has a
responsibility to tell you if something needs repairing but they should never pressure you
into allowing them to do the job.
Scheduling an Appointment with a Qualified Long Island Chimney Sweeping
Company
The time of year for scheduling an appointment can be important. If you need to hire a Long
Island chimney sweeping professional be sure to plan ahead. Many people will want to hire a
chimney sweep just before the onset of the heating season only to discover there is a long
waiting list. Just like any other contractor, a chimney sweeping contractor has a busy season
and you might find it difficult to schedule an appointment if you wait until the last minute.
Late spring or summer may be a much better time to schedule a chimney cleaning since it’s
likely that the Long Island chimney sweeping company won’t be so busy.
No matter the type of fuel you use to heat your home it’s important to make sure your
chimney is in good condition. If you rely heavily on wood as a source of heat, two or three
cleanings during the heating season would not be excessive. Even if you only use your
fireplace or wood stove for the occasional ambiance you should have your chimney
inspected on a regular basis. A yearly cleaning and inspection by a qualified Long Island
chimney sweeping service is a small price to pay to protect your family from the dangers
associated with chimney fires and dangerous carbon monoxide gases.
