Fall in Spencer means crisp air, but also creosote buildup hiding in your chimney. Our team’s been fielding calls about soot stains on mantels and that ‘off’ smell after lighting up, signs your chimney sweep is overdue. We’re booking now to avoid the November rush, and we’ll leave your home cleaner than we found it. Here’s what to know before you call.
Why Your Chimney Near the Spencer Mall Needs Cleaning Before Holiday Fires
Spencer’s older homes, especially those near the railroad tracks or along Main Street, often have chimneys that haven’t been cleaned since last winter. That’s a problem: creosote, the sticky byproduct of burning wood, hardens into a flammable tar by October. We’ve already pulled out chunks the size of walnuts from chimneys in your neighborhood, and that’s before the holiday fires. Our crew uses high-efficiency vacuums and brushes that cut buildup and leave zero mess in your fireplace or living room. See our full service list here to confirm we cover your chimney type, from brick to modern inserts.
