Why You Need An Annual Chimney Sweeping

Creosote is a natural, dark, tar-like by-product of burning wood. However, it's far more common — and builds up much faster — when a homeowner burns unseasoned wood. This type of fuel has a higher moisture content, which leads to a higher concentration of smoke. Over time, this condenses and creates a layer of creosote within your flue. Creosote is highly flammable and one of the leading causes of house fires. In addition, it can lead to foul odors from your chimney whenever you open your damper, especially when creosote mixes with water via condensation or precipitation. Furthermore, creosote is dangerous to your health.

Beyond creosote, our team can also remove any leaves or debris from your chimney system while we’re there. While these are indicative of another problem, removing them will help to prevent blockages and other risks to your home.

Finally, our team will use sophisticated tools to check out any damage to the interior of your chimney. Minor chimney repairs are often easier to complete during an annual sweep and inspection. And of course, we can make preventative recommendations to help minimize future problems while we’re there.

How To Prepare For Our Visit

There are a few things you can do before our arrival. First, remove any furniture or decorations from your hearth and mantle. Second, ensure that any nearby home furnishings are at least six to eight feet away from your fireplace area. Finally, use a small shovel and scoop ashes from your firebox into a disposable bag.

When To Call A Chimney Sweep

Ideally, the best time to call a chimney sweep is after you’ve stopped using your fireplace for the season. For most homeowners in our region, this will be sometime during the spring. Summer is a great time for a chimney sweep and inspection, as this is both during the off-season and allows ample time for any necessary chimney repairs. However, if that is not possible, then at a minimum you should call a chimney sweep before the fall season arrives.
