Sweeps, Caps and Liners
When the snow finally melts, a chimney shows how its winter went. Months of daily fires leave a thick coat of soot and creosote, and repeated freezing leaves its mark on mortar and crown. Chimney Sweep Mission uses the quieter spring weeks for Chimney Cleaning and a careful look at the masonry from top to bottom. Gas fireplace cleaning belongs on the same visit, since the burner and glass have just finished a long season of work. Across Mission, an April appointment lets a tired hearth rest properly.
Spring humidity can wake up old residue and send a stale smell into the house. Brushing the flue now removes what the winter built up, before warm, wet air has a chance to stir it.
A gas unit that ran most evenings gathers a film on the glass and dust around the burner ports. A spring cleaning puts it away tidy and shows up any worn part during a quiet time of year.
