Jeff Rozendal, Certified Chimney Sweep at Chimney Crickets announced today the release of a new website. The website was designed to be an informative destination for those seeking information about chimney smoke problems, how to determine when a chimney cleaning is necessary, explanation of the chimney sweep process and answer common questions related to the work that a chimney sweep performs. The website also provides overviews and links to the credentials the public should consider when selecting a chimney sweep, including the Certified Chimney Sweep certification through the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the Code of Ethics obligations for a Member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild. The website can be accessed at http://www.ChimneyCrickets.com.
Chimney cleaning is an essential home maintenance action to ensure a safe home. It is an action that can often be ignored or deferred for years at great risk to the homeowner; especially, during difficult economic times where people are often forced to pass on non-essential needs. Failure to have your chimney cleaned could lead to build-ups of creosote and soot particles that are highly flammable and lead to very hot fires that cause significant destruction within minutes. It is recommended that a chimney be cleaned by a certified Chimney Sweep on a regular basis to avoid the danger of these types of fires that are often preventable.
The website was created to help homeowners recognize the need for chimney cleaning and better understand when a sweeping is needed. Jeff Rozendal understands that “a recommendation of chimney sweeping on a regular basis” can equate to different timeframes to many different people based on frequency of fireplace or woodstove usage. According to Jeff “people don’t think about chimney sweeps until the appearance of smoke. Although this is a good indicator, is not definite indication sweeping is needed now, or that it wasn’t needed months ago”. The website covers smoke problems and the inspection process to help homeowners understand when a chimney sweep could be needed. The website offers helpful guidelines, but the information should not be interpreted as sole decisive factors as to when the services of a chimney sweep are needed as individual conditions may vary. Those who require chimney sweep services or have questions within the greater San Diego area including San Diego city, Chula Vista, El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee and Alpine should contact Jeff Rozendal. Those living in other areas of the country should use the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) directory. Chimney Crickets website viewers will find a link to the CSIA website, as well as the Guild which also has a national directory of chimney sweeps.
