Apartment Chimney Sweeping and Cleaning
Chimney Sweeping Specialists In The Southeast
The Mad Hatter has specialized in chimney sweeping and cleaning since 1978. It is the first service that we offered in 1978 and we still continue to hone and improve our service for you. All chimneys should be inspected annually and swept when needed to remove byproducts such as soot and creosote. This will help to prevent flue fires and ensure that dangerous fumes can exit your apartment buildings. Our service thoroughly inspects and cleans your fireplace and chimney so that you may have the peace of mind that you can operate and enjoy it safely. We will also recommend any repairs or modifications that are found upon inspection.
Certified & Professional Chimney Technicians
Our chimney sweep technicians are certified by the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG), where they undergo thorough training and are qualified to handle all types of chimneys. All of our employees are drug tested and background checked for your safety.
It typically takes us between 45 minutes and 2 hours to clean your chimney. Inspection of the chimney and documentation mad add to the length of the visit. Different methods may be used to clean and sweep your chimney and fireplace, depending on the style and build of your chimney. Your chimney may be swept from the bottom up, or from the top down, depending upon the need and judgement of our qualified technicians.
