Chimney Sweep & Repair in Commerce Charter Township, MI

Commerce Charter Township sits in Oakland County, about 24 miles northeast of downtown Ann Arbor, and is home to roughly 43,800 people. Homes here are relatively new — the typical one was built around 1991 — so most fireplaces are factory-built units with metal chimneys, where cap, spark-arrestor, and flashing problems matter more than liner deterioration. Most homes in Commerce Charter Township (about 91%) heat with natural or propane gas, and gas furnaces and water heaters vent through the chimney too — a blocked or deteriorated flue can push carbon monoxide back into the house. At roughly 1,600 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Commerce Charter Township together with nearby communities such as Wixom, West Bloomfield Charter Township and White Lake Charter Township.

Michigan winters are long and cold, with many days below freezing — that means heavy freeze-thaw stress on masonry and a longer burning season, which increases creosote buildup for regular wood-burning households.
