An annual chimney sweep is a must for homeowners who are planning on using their fireplace throughout the winter.

A chimney sweep ensures that your chimney is free of creosote – a flammable material that builds up inside your chimney as your fireplace keeps you warm and toasty.  Left unaddressed, creosote buildup is a significant risk factor in chimney fires and can also impact the air quality of your home.

Lakeview chimney sweeps are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America.  Our technicians go through a rigorous process to prove their knowledge of the codes, practices and standards of the chimney cleaning process. The CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® credential is acknowledged by a growing number of industry organizations, insurance underwriters, local, state and federal agencies as the measure of a chimney sweep’s knowledge about the evaluation and maintenance of chimney and venting systems.

All of Lakeview’s chimney technicians are CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps, meaning you can trust Lakeview with your chimney cleaning and inspection needs.  Call 218-525-5146 today to schedule your appointment!

Chimneys that are decades old are typically lined with clay tiles, which help contain the heat, smoke, and moisture produced by your fireplace and direct them up and out of the chimney.  Over time, these tiles get brittle and crack, exposing the chimney masonry to direct contact with heat, moisture, and smoke.  This can cause serious damage to your chimney over time and is a significant cause of chimney fires.

The chimney experts at Lakeview will assess the state of your existing chimney liner to see if it is putting your home at risk.  If needed, our certified technicians will install a flexible, metal chimney liner that will ensure your chimney is safe for decades.
