New Boston is a quiet, rural town where close-knit New Englanders raise their families. Like much of New Hampshire, the area features primarily wooded lots, miles of farmland, streams, and open spaces. Since most homes are wood-framed structures with one or more fireplaces and stoves for ambient heating, periodic chimney sweeping is an absolute necessity. Since 2004, the licensed and certified chimney professionals at Sweepnman have provided homeowners with our chimney sweeping service.
Certified Chimney Sweeping for New Boston, NH, Homes
Whether you live in a historic New England farmhouse off High Street or a modern residence near the Piscataquog River, your chimney requires sweeping. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that all solid-fuel heating systems (fireplaces, wood stoves, and pellet stoves) be inspected and swept at least once a year.
Our team evaluates the overall condition of your venting system, identifying hidden structural damage, water leaks, and animal nesting before they become costly, dangerous problems.
What to Expect When a Certified Sweep Arrives for Sweeping
You can expect our technician to arrive on time in a company vehicle. The sweep will establish a tidy work zone by laying drop cloths around your hearth to isolate the work area completely. Using specialized chimney brushes, rods, and heavy-duty industrial HEPA vacuum systems, we safely brush away creosote and soot from the flue walls, smoke shelf, and firebox without allowing dust to escape into your home. All debris is safely vacuumed up and removed from your property. The technician will tidy up the immediate work area and provide you with a detailed report that outlines the condition of your chimney system.
Creosote: The Primary Cause of Chimney Fires
When burning wood in your fireplace or stove, combustion byproducts travel up the chimney flue and condense into creosote. Creosote changes as it accumulates, progressing from a flaky soot to a thick, tar-like glaze. If the internal temperature of your chimney gets hot enough, or if stray sparks contact this tarry buildup, it can ignite a devastating chimney fire. Since these fires can crack clay liners and warp metal flues, they can easily escape the chimney structure and ignite the wood framing of your home. Regular, professional sweeping is the only reliable way to remove this dangerous fuel source.
