Why should you have your chimney cleaned on a regular basis?
An yearly chimney clean is recommended. However, the kind of fuel you use in your fireplace throughout the heating season may determine how often you need chimney repairs if you use your fireplace regularly. Wood-burning fireplaces often produce more trash and buildup than gas-burning fireplaces. If you see any of the following, you should contact a chimney cleaning company:
Overwhelming Smoke: If your fireplace generates more smoke than normal, or if smoke enters your home when you use it, it might be a sign that the chimney is clogged and needs to be cleaned.
Slow Draft: If your fire takes longer than normal to start or you have trouble keeping a strong fire, creosote buildup or debris in the chimney might be the culprit.
Unpleasant scents: If your fireplace emits unpleasant or musty odors even when not in use, this might be due to creosote buildup or other debris in the chimney that needs to be cleaned. Burning scents in your fireplace may indicate that obstructions need to be removed.
Visible Debris: If twigs, leaves, or other items fall into your fireplace, it might be due to a blockage at the top of the chimney.
Burning Sparks or Embers: If you see sparks or embers emerging from the top of your chimney while the fire is burning, this might indicate a buildup or obstruction.
If your carbon monoxide detector sounds a warning while you’re using your fireplace, it might be due to restricted airflow produced by a clogged chimney.
