Chimney Sweep Irving uses specialized techniques such as parging, which involves smoothing out the smoke chamber walls with a high-heat resistant mortar. This process improves the draft and reduces creosote buildup, enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of your chimney.

It’s recommended to have your smoke chamber inspected annually, especially if you use your fireplace frequently. Regular inspections can help identify potential issues early and prevent costly repairs in the future.
