In order to avoid potential hazards like fire, a chimney will need to be swept and cleaned. This process includes the removal of built-up soot, creosotes, and other debris that are highly flammable. This dirt can often be found on your chimney’s firebox and damper. 

How often should you have your chimney cleaned? Well according to The National Fire Protection Association, how often you get your chimney cleaned would depend on how much you use it or if it is necessary. There may be times where your chimney has been used by animals like raccoons; proper sweeping should be done before you use it again for your safety. Most people have their chimneys cleaned before winter comes in order to save money. Our team is highly-trained in doing chimney cleaning and will bring the tools needed to get rid of the debris and built-up soot.

Our crew is equipped with the knowledge and training needed to make sure that your chimney is clean and working properly. What usually happens during an inspection is our inspector will check your chimney for soot buildup and other debris that may hinder and obstruct your chimney’s system. After that, they will walk you through what they found and tell you if there is a need to get work done. Our experts will also recommend what plan of action is needed to get your chimney to work properly.

How often should you have your chimney inspected: According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, you should have your chimneys inspected once every twelve months. There are three levels of a chimney inspection, the level one as the most basic check and level three as a more advanced version for you to know your chimney’s state. At this level, it will include a view of the hidden spots of your chimney that can only be reached by using special equipment.
