Chimney Sweeping Is Important
Chimney sweeping is important despite many homeowners neglecting to have it done – since it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. That isn’t a great idea because it can be very unsafe to use your fireplace with a dirty chimney.
As you use your fireplace, smoke billows up the chimney causing soot to line the walls. The more you use your chimney, the more soot cakes your chimney. This is very dangerous because soot is flammable. Every time you use your fireplace with a dirty chimney, you’re putting your home in danger.
The soot also creates a blockage which can prevent smoke from escaping through your chimney. That means it’ll back into your
When to Get a Chimney Sweep
The tricky part about chimney sweeping is that there’s no set time frame to have your chimney cleaned. Since it’s dependent on how often you use your chimney, you need to keep an eye on the soot.
When you have 1/8″ of soot on your chimney walls, you’re in need of a chimney sweep. How long it takes for your to get that much soot in your chimney changes depending on your fireplace usage. You’ll need to measure the amount of soot in your chimney to determine whether it needs to be swept or not.
We do recommend you have a chimney inspection once per year. They’ll tell you if your chimney need to be swept and they can find other underlying problems. With the amount of wear and tear your chimney faces from the weather and smoke, you never know what could happen.
