In Burbank, a chimney emergency can escalate quickly. Something like a chimney fire is a serious threat that needs immediate attention. These fires are often caused by creosote buildup. Creosote is a flammable substance that coats the inside of your chimney. The more you use your fireplace, the more it builds up. Factors like the type of wood burned and how often you use the fireplace influence this accumulation. Using unseasoned wood, for example, creates more creosote. A chimney that hasn't been cleaned in a while will require more extensive service. This can affect the overall cost. It's important to distinguish between a routine cleaning and an emergency. We make it easy to get professional help. Don't put your safety at risk. Call us today to schedule your service.

Frequently asked in Burbank

What makes a chimney cleaning an emergency versus something that can wait in Burbank?

A chimney fire is an immediate emergency. Signs include roaring sounds from the chimney, flames or sparks coming from the top, or dense smoke filling the house. If you suspect a fire, evacuate immediately and call 911. A routine cleaning is for preventative maintenance.
