Removing Creosote Build-Up To Keep Things In Perfect Working Order
Look no further than the experts here at Grandstone to be your go-to chimney sweeper for homes and businesses in Ridgewood and beyond. If you use your fireplace or wood-burning stove, then you will inevitably end up with creosote build-up in your chimney. Creosote is a dark substance that forms as you burn wood. It can have a number of different consistencies depending on what stage you happen to see it, sometimes appearing more flaky like ash or soot, and sometimes oily or hardened like tar. It needs to be removed each year to keep your fireplace safe for operation, and that's where we come in!
Are you in need of professional chimney repair in Ridgewood for your home or business? We provide this service and so much more, like chimney relining and even roofing, here at Grandstone, so get in touch with us today to learn more!

Frequently Asked Questions
Generally speaking, you should hire a chimney sweeper to inspect and clean out your chimney at least once a year. Some insurances actually require proof of this, but whether or not you're obligated to do so, it's very important to routinely clean your chimney for the health and safety of your home or business. The best time to have your chimney swept is in the spring or summer when fireplaces are generally not in use, since it's an excellent time to clean out all the build-up from the previous winter season and prepare it for the next. You can have it swept any time, of course, but the warmer months are ideal!
You can certainly attempt to be your own chimney sweeper, but it's not worth all the expense and hassle in most cases. The equipment and protective gear needed to do a thorough job can be very costly, and you'll be out of luck if you have insurance that requires an inspection and cleaning from a certified professional. At the end of the day, going with a pro is always more cost-effective and ensures fantastic results.
