The Chimney Bear Approach to Safety: Why We Use a Roof-Friendly Harness System
At Chimney Bear, safety is our top priority—but so is protecting your home. Many homeowners worry about the damage traditional harness systems can cause to their roofs, and rightfully so. Some chimney companies hook into the roof for anchoring, leaving puncture marks that can lead to leaks, structural issues, and expensive repairs. At Chimney Bear, we do things differently.
Our professionals use a wrap-around chimney harness system, eliminating the need to hook into the roof. This method ensures that your roof remains puncture-free, undamaged, and utterly intact while anchoring our technicians securely. By wrapping the harness system around the chimney, we provide an equally safe but far less invasive alternative to traditional anchoring methods.
Additionally, OSHA safety regulations specify that chimney sweeps must harness up only if they need to reaccess the roof. This rule accounts for initial inspections, where a technician assesses the chimney's condition and plans the service. If a technician needs to return to the roof for further work, harnessing becomes mandatory. This regulation ensures that chimney professionals work efficiently while maintaining their safety.
Why Our Method is the Best Choice for Your Home:
No Roof Penetration: Unlike other companies that drill into your roof, our method prevents leaks and long-term damage.
Superior Technician Safety: The wrap-around chimney harness provides maximum security without compromising efficiency.
Preserving Home Integrity: Our process protects your chimney and entire home structure.
Compliance with Safety Standards: We strictly adhere to industry regulations, ensuring safety and best practices in chimney care.
This meticulous approach is part of what sets Chimney Bear apart as a premier chimney service provider. Homeowners can rest assured that their roofs will remain untouched, leak-free, and as strong as ever while receiving top-tier chimney care.
If you’re looking for a company that values safety, quality, and your home’s longevity, Chimney Bear is your trusted partner. Contact us today to learn more about our services and see how we can keep your chimney in pristine condition—without risking damage to your roof.
