How Often Should a Chimney be Cleaned?

When it is cold outside, nothing beats a beautiful and hot fire. Burning fires will create unwanted bi-products which if not taken care of can cause health issues and even become dangerous. I don’t remember seeing any of my fire burning friends clean their chimney. Rarely even their fireplace.

The more you use your fireplace or wood burning stove will determine how often it needs to be cleaned. If you have not used it in awhile you need to make sure that there is nothing blocking the chimney.

EPA Program "Burn Wise"

The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) has a program called “Burn Wise”. They focus on fire prevention, safety and health issues related to burning wood and other materials. Some of their statistics are very interesting and eye opening.

I know people who use their fireplaces quite often and had no idea that they needed to clean their chimneys. The build up inside the chimney can ignite and cause a devastating fire. Not to mention that toxic chemicals can come back into the house and cause health issues.

From Our Customers

We started having some smoke coming into the house when using our fire place. Not much but you could still tell. Big difference afterwards. Not to mention that the fire burns better. Recommend chimney-sweepers.com to anyone with a chimney.

After what was cleaned out of our chimney, we will have it cleaned on a regular basis. There is no way it will ever get that dirty again. Thank you!

Wow! Who knew that the chimney had to be cleaned like that. I figured since we had a screen on top that nothing would get in. Well I figured wrong. Now I know. Thank you for the fast cleaning and the good information.

There was so much crap that came out of our fireplace chimney . Including old toys black from the fires. Parts of our trees and dirty pine cones. Don't know how Santa managed to get the gifts under the tree last year!! Thanks for the retired military discount too.

About Chimney Fires

Chimney fires can damage a chimney and start a house fire. Soot and creosote are acidic and will deteriorate metal and mortar. The build-up of soot and creosote in a chimney reduces its diameter and restricts its flow capacity. A clean chimney operates more efficient and will minimize unhealthy odors. In humid or wet weather, soot and creosote can smell very bad. It also can be difficult to see chimney damage if it is dirty.

Annual Chimney Inspections

A bi-product of fire is creosote buildup (the major cause of chimney fires) and soot, which can restrict air flow and damage the fireplace chimney. Even a gas fireplace chimney can become blocked by a bird’s nest or other debris. If you have a fireplace, you need to be aware of the fire hazards of a damaged or dirty chimney can cause.

The National Fire Protection Agency says nearly half of all home-heating house fires are caused by dirty chimneys, and a majority of them happen during the winter months. An annual chimney inspection looks for buildup and blockages, followed by sweeping to remove all the problems inhibiting performance.
