Bloomquist Chimney has a long history of education in the workings and safety of chimneys and dryer vents. Things change in the industry all the time. Improvements are made, codes change, new ideas in efficiency and safety emerge. These are the reasons that it is important to hire a certified chimney or dryer vent sweep. Someone who continually renews their certifications. Mother Nature changes things in your chimney and dryer vent all the time. Some things you may notice right away such as a lightning strike or wind damage. The more subtle things, however, like birds nests, bee hives, small freeze-thaw cracks that over time get larger and create leaks or build-up in the flue or vent are occurrances that a certified sweep is trained to find and fix before they become much bigger (and more costly) issues. We at Bloomquist Chimney feel that the customer is the most important part of our business. Without that relationship, we don’t have a business. Therefore we strive for prompt appointments, excellent care for your property and family members – including the little furry ones. Above all, the cleanest sweep in town.
