In Denmark it is considered a sign of good luck if a newly-married couple has a chimney sweep cross their path. Often great antics are arranged to make certain this happens. But this is certainly more than superstition. Whether you are warm or cold in the winter or cool of evening often depends on having a good relationship with your local chimney sweep.
"Acadiana Chimney Sweeps is an owner-operated company. As the owner I am on every job and attend to your needs personally," said John Bordelon of Lafayette.
"We have been in business since the early 1980s and take advantage of all that our growing chimney safety industry offers in the way of training seminars and certifications. I am one of the older active certification numbers(#1377) from the CHIMNEY SAFETY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA(CSIA) which offers the only accredited chimney sweep certification in the US. I am active in our industry association, the National Chimney Sweep Guild, and am a strong advocate of education and training. Experience is not a substitute for education; I bring all I learn back to my community to share new products, new procedures, and the most up-t0-date methods for chimney cleaning, repair, and maintenance."
"We always treat your home as respectfully as we would our own," Bordelon insisted,"from our NO MESS guarantee to our faithful promise to carry out every task-from inspection to cleaning to repair-to the best industry standards and more. For more information on our products and services, give us a call at 337-234-4334."
As he pointed out, your chimney is important to your family's safety. Every home visit includes an inspection of all accessible areas. They look for problems where many people may not think to look such as the attic where clearances may be a problem or where damages may first appear. And the company uses state-of-the-art video equipment to access hidden areas not seen by cursory inspections.
They help diagnose peformance problems with smoky fireplaces. And they figure out where pesky water leaks come from and use the latest techniques to repair the damage before it expands into something bigger and costlier. AND they line unlined chimneys and reline chimneys that have suffered damage due to fire, water, improper construction, and other kinds of deterioration and damage.
To prevent animals, rain, and leaves from getting into the chimney, they install professional chimney caps and they can clean furnace flues and dryer vents. Clogged vents on clothes dryers cause more home fires than chimneys do!
And if you have an older, historically-styled home, Acadiana Chimney Sweeps have Grand Fireplace Products that are faithful reproductions of period style mantels and surrounds.
"Whether you want a resoration to safely burn wood or a conversion to gas or electric fires, we have the products to suit your needs and the expertise to design and install everything you need," Bordelon concluded.
