Benefits of Annual Apartment Chimney Cleanings & Inspections

How To Prepare Your Chimney and Fireplace for WinterThe National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends an annual chimney inspection to check for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. These inspections are crucial even if cleaning, maintenance, or repairs aren’t immediately necessary.

• Mitigates the Risk of Chimney Fires in Units: Promotes the removal of hazardous creosote buildup in apartment chimneys, decreasing the likelihood of fire incidents.

• Identifies Structural Integrity Concerns: Professional inspections can reveal any deterioration, ensuring that all apartment chimneys are structurally sound.

Look no further than Mad Hatter… the company and their people are the best. Have used them probably 6-8 times over the last 10 years. They do more than cleaning the flue, my fireplace outside was leaning towards the house due to poor construction in 1995. Mad Hatter disassembled the top 1/3 that was leaning brick by brick and secured the fireplace to the attic. They reassembled and it’s perfect without the worry it will ever reoccur. I’ll not even consider another company when it comes to my fireplaces.

Chris Sparks was very knowledgeable and assisted me with buying the correct type of gas fire logs. Pedro, Mario and crew arrived promptly on the scheduled installation date. They did an inspection, replaced my old rusty chimney cap and installed the gas logs in less than an hour. Very happy with their service.
