Chimney cleaning is a crucial part of maintaining your chimney. With all the different factors that can dirty up your chimney, including your chimney cap screen clogging, it is essential to have proper cleaning by a professional chimney sweep to keep everything working efficiently. Luckily, the team at Tony’s Home Services has extensive experience and knowledge to give your chimney the perfect cleaning.
Having regular chimney cleanings can prevent costly chimney relines & repairs down the road. Since the National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA) requires that chimney inspections be performed once a year, chimney cleanings can give you an idea of what kind of maintenance is needed to ensure it stays in top condition. Here is what you can expect during your next chimney sweeping:
If your clogged chimney cap screen is beginning to cause problems or an unexpected emergency with your chimney occurs, Tony’s is here to help!
Whether it happens day or night, an emergency with your chimney is not something to brush off or take lightly. Excess creosote exposed to heat, sparks, or open fire can burst into flame. The following are just some of the signs that will indicate your chimney is at risk of lighting on fire:
● Loud cracking noise coming from your fireplace
● A build-up of dense smoke
● An intense, burning smell
If you encounter any of these, it is best to get you and your family to safety and call an emergency chimney sweep to come in and inspect your chimney.
How often should my chimney be cleaned?
We recommend having your chimney cleaned every 6-12 months, depending on how much you use it!
Does my chimney need to be cleaned even if I didn’t use my fireplace?
Your chimney should be inspected but may not require cleaning.
What are signs my chimney needs to be clean?
While there are quite a few different signs, some of the most common include your chimney cap screen clogging, odd smells coming from your fireplace, hearing animals in your chimney, oil-like markings on the walls of your fireplace, and taking a greater amount of effort to get a fire started.
