Frequently Asked Questions
A: It is recommended to have your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year, especially if you use your fireplace regularly. Annual cleanings help prevent dangerous creosote buildup and ensure that your chimney is free from obstructions and in good working order. For those who use their fireplaces more frequently, additional cleanings may be necessary.
A: Some common signs that your chimney needs cleaning include a strong smoky odor coming from your fireplace, poor draft causing smoke to enter your home, visible soot buildup inside the fireplace, and a significant amount of creosote on the chimney walls. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to schedule a cleaning as soon as possible.
A: Creosote is a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood. It accumulates on the walls of your chimney over time. If not regularly cleaned, creosote buildup can lead to chimney fires, which can spread to the rest of your home. Regular chimney cleanings help remove creosote and reduce the risk of such fires.
A: While it is possible to clean your chimney yourself, it is not recommended unless you have the proper tools and experience. Chimney cleaning can be a messy and potentially dangerous task. Hiring a professional ensures that the job is done thoroughly and safely, and includes a comprehensive inspection to identify any issues that might need attention.
