CHIMNEY SWEEPING

Our equipment is specifically designed for the type of chimney we are servicing whether it be a large masonry fireplace, furnace flue, woodstove or metal factory built chimney system.

All brushable creosote and soot are removed without damage to the fireplace or chimney. This include the elbows in factory built chimneys or connector pipes, which can become separated by using improperly sized or inappropriate brushes or rods. The work is done both from the outside and inside the home and using proven methods to assure that no soot or creosote escapes into the room. Drop cloths, rug runners, a high speed vacuum, tarps over the fireplace and shoe covers allow us to guarantee mess-free cleaning! All soot and creosote dislodged during the cleaning process will be removed from the smoke shelf and firebox.

Our technicians will also examine the fireplace (or appliance) and chimney and provide you with information regarding any problems or concerns discovered during the cleaning process.

MCP Sweep Chimney Service's technicians are trained in mechanical and chemical removal of dangerous glazed creosote. Some jobs should be left to the professionals...  this is one of them.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Having the dryer vent system cleaned and inspected yearly by a dryer vent cleaning professional can help prevent fires and save you money in decreased energy costs. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, there were 15,500 dryer vent fires last year and the number continues to rise. Because most people don't know their dryer vents need to be cleaned. They clean out the lint filter and think that's it. In reality, the dryer vent duct is where lint really can build up and get clogged. Lint is highly flammable and it accounts for most dryer vent fires.

Our technicians can service all venting situations including today's extremely long vent ducts. These ducts are especially susceptible to lint buildup.

A standard servicing will involve :

Disconnecting the dryer

Cleaning the vent duct with special tools

Checking connections

Dryer vent cleaning improves the safety and efficiency of your dryer installation. As dryer vents become filled with lint and other debris, drying time increases and can cause the dryer itself to overheat. This increases energy consumption since the dryer has to run longer to dry your clothes and can also cause fires in the dryer or the dryer duct. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports dryer related home fires are on the increase. CPSC figures show that in 1997 there were 16,800 dryer fires which caused 30 deaths, 430 injuries and 97.3 million dollars in property damage.

So don't take a chance - put your family's safety in the hands of a professional. It will protect them against potential fire and save you money as well - two great reasons why you should think about your dryer vent.
