You’ve Found Topeka Kansas's Best Chimney Sweep!

​Chimney Sweep Topeka is chimney and vent servicing company, locally owned and operated in Topeka, KS.  We offer a multitude of services at a fair price.  Let’s be honest.  It is much more affordable to correctly maintain your chimney and fireplace than to hire a professional cleaning company to clean and restore a living room damage by smoke and soot or rebuild your entire life after a residential structural fire.  Chimney Sweep Topeka has a steadfast commitment to being as current as possible with any and all recommendations of the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America.

Everyone loves snuggling up in front of a crackling fire in the fireplace on a cold winter night.  Even better, stoking up the wood stove and heating your home affordably all winter long!  However, it is of the utmost important that fireplaces and woodstoves receive regular maintenance to guarantee safety and efficiency.

An average of 22,300 residential structure fires happen annually because of issues with fireplaces, chimneys, and/or chimney connectors.  In total, that results in over $96,000,000 in residential property damage.  But, fire hazards are not the only danger.  A poorly maintain chimney can result in carbon monoxide poisoning.  Over time, flues become congested with creosote build-up.  When this build-up clogs the chimney and prevents smoke from exiting through the chimney, “the silent killer” carbon monoxide is released throughout the home.  Carbon monoxide poisoning can result in sickness, hospitalization, or even death.  170 people die annually from inadvertent carbon monoxide poisoning, most often related to a poorly maintained ventilations system such as chimney or flue.

With adequate upkeep and periodic inspection, these tragedies can be prevented.  The National Fire Protection Association suggests that homeowners have their chimneys inspected annually at a minimum.  During the cold, winter months, soot can quickly accumulate in both chimneys and ventilation systems.  Only a professional cleaning can adequately remove the dangerous buildup.

During the warmer months, there are other concerns that merit a homeowner’s attention, such as birds and squirrels, both of which like to build homes in chimneys.  If you eagerly stoke up a fire on the first chilly night of the fall or winter without ensuring that the flue is clear, you may end up with a room full of smoke and soot.  That is an easily avoidable complication.  Call Chimney Sweep Topeka and allow our professional to perform a routine inspection of your chimney, flue, and ventilation systems.  They can perform any needed maintenance to safeguard your family and allow them to make memories in front of a cozy fire this winter season.

Crown

The Chimney Safety Institute of America defines the chimney crown or chimney wash is the top element of a masonry chimney.  The crown, or wash, both covers and seals the top of the chimney from the flue liner to the chimney edge.  As time passes, chimney crowns tend to deteriorate and get damaged by water, high winds, and other extreme weather.  If the crown is not tended to in a timely manner, a broken chimney crown can cause damage to both the interior and exterior of your home.  In addition, when water leakage from a damaged crown comes into contact with creosote build-up in the flue, a very unpleasant smell will fill your entire house.  Don’t let it get to that point!  Call Chimney Sweep Topeka and schedule a chimney crown inspection.
