Hi folks, Honestly, this is important because a close friend of mine had a house fire that started due to soot buildup in the chimney/basement collector space. It smoldered for a long time and eventually burned part of their home. That incident really scared me, so now I’m getting my own chimney cleaned regularly.
We’re scheduling a chimney cleaning service with Michael, and if a few more people join, we can get a group discount. Normally this costs up to $400, but with 3-4 houses it's $169 per house.
Creosote is highly flammable, and if it builds up, it can ignite and spread fast to the roof and walls. Regular cleaning removes that risk. We’ve used this company before and they do an excellent job. (They also do $149 for duct and $149 for dryer cleaning if anyone needs that.) If you’re interested, please PM me your contact info and address, and I’ll coordinate a convenient time for everyone.
