When it comes to protecting a home from fire, carbon monoxide and hidden chimney or venting hazards, experience matters. Training matters. Certification matters. And Turn of the Century Chimney brings an exceptional level of all three to South Central Kansas.
Turn of the Century Chimney is a locally owned, first responder-owned and operated company specializing in chimney inspections, cleaning and repair; fireplace installation and service; dryer vent cleaning and installation; chimney liners, caps and crowns; masonry and tuckpointing; waterproofing; gas fireplace maintenance; and much more.
But what truly sets this team apart is the depth of knowledge behind the work.
Turn of the Century's team holds advanced industry credentials and training through organizations including the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), National Fireplace Institute (NFI) and National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG). Their technicians include certified chimney professionals as well as CDET Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians, bringing specialized expertise to systems that can directly impact a home's fire safety.
This isn't a crew that simply shows up with brushes and cleans a chimney. These are trained professionals who understand the science of fireplaces, chimneys, venting systems, combustion, airflow and fire prevention.
And there's another piece of their background that makes Turn of the Century especially unique: the owner and members of the team come from first responder backgrounds.
They understand fire differently because they've experienced its consequences firsthand. That first-responder mentality—identify the risk, understand the system, prevent the emergency before it happens—is woven into the way they approach every home.
For homeowners, that means tremendous peace of mind.
For REALTORS®, it makes Turn of the Century an invaluable resource.
The company performs Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 chimney inspections, including inspections for real estate transactions. Their inspections can include camera technology to evaluate areas that aren't visible during a basic visual examination and identify issues such as creosote buildup, damaged liners, masonry deterioration, obstructions and other potential safety concerns.
Whether you're representing the buyer or seller, a fireplace shouldn't be treated as simply another pretty feature in the listing photos. Bring in specialists who know exactly what they're looking at. Turn of the Century can help your clients understand the condition of the chimney and fireplace system so they can make informed decisions before closing.
More Than Chimneys
Turn of the Century is also a valuable resource for dryer vent safety. Lint buildup, improper venting and damaged systems can create serious fire hazards. Their certified professionals can inspect and clean existing dryer vents as well as install new dryer vent systems when necessary.
Their extensive services also include chimney and fireplace repairs, custom chimney caps, chimney liners, crown repair, chase cover replacement, tuckpointing, brick repair, waterproofing, furnace flue relining, creosote removal, gas fireplace maintenance, fireplace inserts, and gas and wood-burning fireplace and stove installation.
Agents: Put Turn of the Century Chimney in your phone before you need them. Whether a fireplace raises questions during an inspection, your buyers want additional peace of mind, or a seller needs repairs completed before closing, this is the kind of specialized professional you want on your real estate resource list.
Homeowners: Don't wait until you smell smoke, notice water damage or discover a venting problem. If you have a fireplace, chimney or dryer vent, preventative inspection and maintenance can help identify hazards before they become emergencies.
When the job involves fire, venting and the safety of your home and family, don't settle for guesswork.
