Ruchala Chimney Sweeping is a full-service chimney and fireplace restoration company.
We are nationally certified chimney professionals and use the most up-to-date sweeping methods and materials.
We install, clean and maintain chimney and fireplace systems, as well as evaluate and provide solutions for improving their performance.
Inspections
We inspect
the readily accessible areas of the chimney in the living
area and at the exterior of your home including the firebox,
damper, and smoke chamber. Outside, we check to make sure
the chimney cap meets code and does not restrict the draft.
They also check for structural soundness and evidence of
deterioration.
We also have the ability to use video equipment
to look inside your chimney, and inspect the nooks and crannies.
This allows us to find and manage small problems before they
become big emergencies.
Cleaning
Chimney cleaning removes creosote in order to ensure safe operation and prevent deterioration. We use a guaranteed "no mess" cleaning method. First, we place tarps on the floor in front of the fireplace and in high traffic areas. The chimney is then cleaned from the bottom. We use specialized tools to clean the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, smoke shelf (behind the damper), and flue liner. This process can take anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour. The recommended yearly inspection will let you know if a cleaning is necessary.
