Memphis has been our home for over 28 years and we have a reputation of being honest and fair to our customers. All chimneys and fireplaces should be cleaned by a professional chimney sweep on an annual basis, as recommended by The National Fire Protection Association. Over long periods of time, soot builds up inside your chimney and can potentially ignite. Having your fireplace and chimney cleaned by a professional, certified chimney sweep will eliminate that hazard. Cleaning your chimney regularly will also improve the efficiency of your wood burning system and reduce unwanted odors. Using our experience and range of state-of-the-art equipment, we will clean your chimney system in the most effective and efficient manner possible. The Chimney Doctor also provides professional chimney inspections, and we will examine your chimney to identify any structural damages or imperfections that make your chimney and fireplace unsafe, creating a potential hazard for you, your family and your home. Chimney Odor The sour, sickly odor is the smell of creosote. The solution is to call a chimney professional to clean your chimney and install a chimney cap to prevent water from entering and reacting with the creosote. Your chimney professional can also recommend a good chimney deodorant to handle any remaining odor, which has been absorbed into the masonry. Slow smoldering fires and/or the use of unseasoned wood can create "cool" smoke and weak draft. Under these conditions the smoke condenses and sticks to the chimney's interior, firming highly flammable creosote. Smoke Problems
