How often should I have my chimney swept in Spring Valley?

Most Spring Valley homeowners need chimney sweeping once a year if they use their fireplace regularly. If you burn more than a cord of wood per season, you might need service twice yearly.The timing matters too. Schedule your cleaning in late summer or early fall, before you start using your fireplace for the season. This gives you time to address any issues we find before cold weather hits.Homes that use their fireplaces only occasionally can often go longer between cleanings, but annual inspections are still smart. Even unused chimneys can develop problems from weather, animals, or structural settling.

What's the difference between cleaning and inspection services?

Cleaning removes all the buildup and debris from your chimney system. Inspection identifies potential safety issues, structural problems, or needed repairs. Professional service includes both.During cleaning, we’re focused on removing creosote, soot, and blockages that create fire hazards. The inspection happens before and after cleaning to assess your chimney’s overall condition and safety.Some companies offer inspection-only services, but that’s like checking your car’s engine without changing the oil. If your chimney needs cleaning, inspection alone won’t solve the safety issues. Combined service gives you the complete picture and actual problem resolution.
