Annual inspections are essential, especially for wood-burning systems that create creosote. Oil and gas systems need less frequent cleaning but should still be inspected yearly for deterioration or blockages. Professional cleaning removes soot, debris, and any creosote buildup that could create fire hazards. We also check connections, seals, and the liner’s overall condition during maintenance visits. North Scituate’s weather patterns—freeze-thaw cycles, high humidity, and coastal salt air—can accelerate wear. Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive problems, protecting your investment and your family’s safety.
