Myth: ‘My Chimney Looks Fine—It Doesn’t Need a Sweep’
Many Murrells Inlet homeowners assume a clean chimney is visible from the outside, but creosote—a flammable tar—builds up *inside* the flue, often undetected until it’s too late. Our **chimney sweep** in Murrells Inlet uses brushless tools to remove even stubborn deposits, and we’ll spot cracks or blockages that could let moisture (or wildlife!) in. Pro tip: If your fireplace smells like gas or smoke *when it’s off*, schedule a sweep before winter.
