Looking after chimneys and fireplaces in Andrews

Smoke spilling into the room is a reason to stop using the fireplace until its cause is assessed. Do not try a smaller fire to see whether the problem returns. If smoke is heavy, a carbon monoxide alarm sounds or you suspect an active chimney fire, get everyone outside and call 911 from a safe place.

A service booking is not a substitute for emergency help. Once the immediate situation is safe, our pros can discuss an inspection at your home in Andrews. Tell us when the smoke appeared, whether the fireplace had been used recently and whether anything about the appliance or room changed. A blocked flue, a damper problem, deposits or the way air moves through the home may be involved, but the symptom alone does not identify the cause.

Keep the fireplace unlit until it has been checked. You can gather the appliance manual and earlier repair paperwork without opening equipment or climbing onto the roof. That information may help explain the setup. Our free inspection is the starting point for understanding the accessible condition and any further examination needed. Ask which parts could be reached and what remains uncertain.

Proposed repairs come with a written estimate, so you can review the scope before deciding on work. Some findings may point to cleaning or a component repair; others may need a closer look at the venting arrangement. The recommendation should follow the actual findings. Let us know about access limitations when arranging the visit, and keep children and pets away from the fireplace in the meantime.
