Your should schedule chimney sweep services in Louisiana annually to ensure there is no creosote buildup or animal nests in your flue.

Creosote builds up as fires are burned in your fireplace. Creosote is highly flammable. It can burn at temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Chimneys are also the perfect place for many animals to build nests. SootServ will make sure you do not have to worry about any of these issues once we have cleaned your chimney.

Whether there is a burnt or rotten smell coming from your chimney, our service will most likely solve the problem.
