Questions & answers
Helpful answers
Quick answers from this business profile.
What if I don’t have my chimney swept?+
Tahoe Chimney & Fireplace states that not having a chimney swept may lead to chimney fires causing house fires and serious damage such as cracks, warping, and bulging to the chimney system.
What causes chimney fires?+
Chimney fires are caused by inadequate chimney maintenance. Creosote accumulates on the flue walls and can ignite when it reaches 1/8 inch thickness. Tahoe Chimney & Fireplace recommends inspection after a chimney fire for damage.
Will my home get dirty after chimney cleaning?+
Tahoe Chimney & Fireplace uses protective rugs, high power vacuum cleaners, and shoe covers to prevent dust and dirt from entering the home during chimney cleaning.
Why do I get cold air inside when not burning?+
Cold air may enter if the damper is left open or damaged, if there is no damper, if the home is very tight with appliances running, or if the fireplace or stove outside air intake is flawed.
How often should I have my chimney swept?+
Chimney sweeping is recommended when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thickness. This buildup can take from a month to a year depending on usage, wood type, and oxygen availability.
Tahoe Chimney & Fireplace showed up when they said they would and got the chimney repaired in short order. The tech very clearly explained what was going on and what he did to make the repairs.
The cost was reasonable as well.
I've worked with them since 2019 and have had a positive experience. JS
