Why Chimney Cleaning Matters
Over time, creosote – a sticky, flammable by‑product of burning wood – builds up in your chimney. This raises the risk of chimney fires, weakens airflow, and compromises indoor air quality. Regular cleaning ensures your home stays safe, efficient, and breathable.
Signs It's Time for a Chimney Cleaning
- Smoke entering the room during a fire
- Oily black stains on the damper or fireplace walls
- Fires that burn weakly or die quickly
- Debris or nesting material inside the flue
How Often Should You Clean Your Chimney?
We recommend at least one chimney inspection per year, typically after the burn season. Homes with heavy fireplace use or recent seismic activity may require more frequent service.
