Sweeping and Appliance Servicing

The primary reason for sweeping chimneys and appliance servicing is the prevention of chimney and house fires. Also to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from blocked or dirty appliances, flue ways and chimneys.

Chimney sweeping is important, clean chimneys are safer and help our environment by assisting the complete combustion of the fuel, which then reduces emissions into the environment.

Using 1-2-C Master Chimney Sweep will eliminate the build up of soot from coal, wood, oil and gas fired appliances and maintain your chimney safely. Clear obstructions such as birds and animal nests, leaves and building debris, even cobwebs. Our trained staff provide valuable advice on operating your appliance safely, efficiently and on any remedial work that may be necessary.
