Frequently Asked Questions

Some of the signs that your chimney needs cleaning include a strong, unpleasant odor coming from your fireplace or chimney, smoke entering your home when you light a fire, a buildup of soot or creosote, and a visible accumulation of debris or blockage in the chimney. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your chimney cleaned as soon as possible to prevent potential hazards.

The frequency of chimney cleaning depends on several factors, including the type of fuel you burn, how often you use your fireplace or stove, and the age and condition of your chimney. As a general rule, it's recommended that chimneys be cleaned at least once a year. However, if you use your fireplace or stove more frequently, you may need to have it cleaned more often.

Chimney sweeping typically refers to the process of removing soot, creosote, and other debris from the inside of the chimney.
