Chimney Sweeping - preseason service with video scan included

Did you know that as little as 1/8 inch of creosote build up can pose a serious hazard for you and your family?  In addition to decreasing the efficiency of your stove, creosote build up presents a fire hazard which can ignite during a hot fire under the right circumstances.  These chimney fires can crack and destroy liners, tiles, and connectors.  They can also spread beyond the chimney into the structure of your home and threaten your safety.  This is why it is essential to have your chimney cleaned and inspected before each heating season, especially if your stove is used as a source of heat. 

During a typical preseason chimney service  we will:

• Use drop cloths and air filtration to keep everything clean
• Clean your flue and ensure it is clean when we leave
• Remove and inspect your stove pipe connector
• Clean, service, and check over your stove or insert
• For masonry lined flues, we will video scan your flue after cleaning
• Take a lot of digital pictures to ensure everything is well documented
• Provide you with a report at the end on the condition of your chimney

We are experts in our field and will do everything possible to exceed your expectations of what a chimney professional should be. 

And remember, a video scan of your flue is included for masonry lined chimneys.

Please remember if you suspect a chimney fire is occurring:
1.  Call 911
2.  If the fire hasn't spread beyond the chimney, close all air controls and dampers.
3.  Exit the house safely and quickly.
4.  After the fire is extinguished, have a Level 2 inspection performed BEFORE using the system again!

Remember also the chimney serving the oil furnace or boiler in your basement.  Clogged oil flues can result in carbon monoxide being forced into your home.  Our experts at Black Moose are trained to inspect, sweep, and repair your oil and gas venting systems and keep your family safe and warm.

Pellet Stove Service and Repair

We specialize in pellet appliance service.  Typically a pellet appliance should have an annual service much like a wood appliance.  A pellet service usually includes:

• Cleaning and checking the venting system
• Cleaning the appliance, heat exchangers, burn area, blowers, and hopper
• Checking clearances and connections
• Anything else your manufacturer calls for on an annual basis

Pellet stoves, while great appliances, do contain moving parts which require maintenance and do on occasion break, and you can trust us at Black Moose to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.  We will diagnose the problem, special order the parts if necessary, and get you back up and running with minimal down time which is a great thing in the middle of a New England January.  We are experienced with many top brands and really enjoy working on them.
