Creosote Buildup: Inwood’s #1 Chimney Fire Risk
If your chimney hasn’t been swept since last winter, creosote, a flammable tar, could already be coating the flue. Inwood’s older brick homes (especially those near the Hudson River) see faster buildup from damp wood. Our team removes all three types of creosote, including the most dangerous, glossy variety. Creosote Removal in Inwood: How to Prevent Chimney Fires & Save on Repairs explains why skipping this step now could cost you thousands in repairs, or worse. Schedule before the leaves change: we’re already booking fall prep visits.
Dryer Vents: The Hidden Fire Hazard in Inwood Basements
While you’re checking the chimney, don’t overlook dryer vents, especially in Inwood’s older walk-ups where lint traps often get ignored. A clogged vent isn’t just inefficient; it’s a fire waiting to happen. Our crew cleans dryer vents to NFPA standards, ensuring proper airflow and reducing energy costs.
