Annual Chimney Maintenance & Home Safety
Did you know that the National Fire Protection Association highly recommends all homeowners perform annual chimney inspection and sweeps? An unfortunate byproduct of chimney fires is an increased need for safety and cleanliness precautions. If chimneys are left to accumulate creosote, homeowners experience an increased risk of house fires and toxic fume inhalation. Co poisoning, chimney fires, and other risks are almost completely avoidable if chimney sweeps are regularly performed.
Chimney inspections and cleanings often come hand-in-hand. Chimney professionals have to explore and view your chimney for both services, so it often makes sense to perform them in the same visit. This ensures no potential issues are overlooked, even if they are early stage issues.
Chimney Inspection & Cleaning
An inspection will include looking at all aspects of your chimney – inside and out – as well as going on the roof to inspect exterior components, such as chimney cap and covers. A chimney sweep or cleaning will consist of industrial powered vacuums cleaning up debris and ash, chemical cleaning products to tackle creosote if needed, as well as any other special cleaning attention that arises. These both should be performed once a year to ensure your chimney is safe and enjoyable.
Chimney Draft & Efficiency Issues
Occasionally, chimneys experience draft issues. If you notice that you have trouble keeping a fire lit, smoke is coming into your house, or a cold draft is entering your home, you may want to look into this. This could even be causing higher heating bills.
Animal & Debris Removal
Animals enjoy warm environments, which means they may find their way inside your chimney without a way to escape. Unfortunately, they may nest or pass inside your chimney requiring assistance with removal.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Just as it is important to keep up with your chimney, a different culprit often neglected is laundry dryer vents. Homeowner’s dryer vent should be cleaned every 1-3 years. This depends on how often you dry clothes, how long your dryer vent is, along with some other factors.
