How Do You Know it is Safe to Burn Wood?
Fireplace inspectors must answer one question regarding fireplace safety: “Can the fire in the fireplace reach the home?” To keep “fire in its place” we must:- Maintain our fireplaces and chimneys
- Operate them responsibly
Only with a yearly chimney and fireplace evaluation from a trusted chimney service can the question of fireplace safety be answered.
How Often is an Evaluation & Cleaning Needed?
Creosote build up in chimneys and fireplaces is the byproduct of enjoying wood burning fires in the fireplace hearth. Unfortunately, soot and creosote is fuel to chimney fires. Chimney fires have caused tens of thousands of dollars of damage to homes and chimneys in the Kansas City metro.
How to Know it’s Time for a Cleaning?
The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommendation is that fireplace and chimney inspections happen every year, and clean as needed. Creosote isn’t the only reason for annual fireplace inspections, in addition to the risk of chimney fires is the chimney safety problems that present themselves as fireplace and chimneys age. Gaps and cracks in the fireplace flue liner and smoke chamber give a pathway for fire to leave the fireplace and touch the home.

Why Hearth Evaluation is Critical to Home Maintenance
Imagine the following scene:
A cozy evening with family and friends. Conversation, music and a fine meal are being enjoyed, and the entertainment is the warm & glowing ambiance of a crackling fire in the fireplace hearth.
The first clue something is amiss, trouble getting the fire started, then the smell. At first the fireplace odor is pleasant, then watery eyes, finally a haze is visible against the room lamps.
Nothing is as enjoyable as a fireplace with friends, or as frustrating when it malfunctions and turns into a smoky mess!
Annual Fireplace Inspection and Cleaning by a Full Service Fireplace Inspector ensures the continued function and performance that make enjoying your fireplace and chimney trouble free.
