How often should I have my chimney swept in Bernardsville?

Most Bernardsville homeowners need chimney cleaning once per year, typically before heating season starts in late fall. If you burn more than three cords of wood annually, you might need cleaning twice per year.The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection regardless of usage. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause structural issues that develop between seasons.Your usage pattern matters too. If you only have occasional fires, annual cleaning is usually sufficient. But if your fireplace is your primary heat source, more frequent service protects your investment and your family’s safety.

What's the difference between cleaning and inspection?

Cleaning removes creosote, soot, and debris that builds up from burning wood. Inspection identifies structural problems, ventilation issues, and safety hazards that cleaning alone won’t fix.Our service includes both because they work together. We can’t properly clean a chimney without first understanding its condition, and we can’t give you a complete safety assessment without removing buildup that might hide problems.You get documentation for both services, which most insurance companies require if you ever need to file a claim related to fireplace damage.

What happens if you find damage during cleaning?

We stop cleaning immediately and explain exactly what we found, why it’s a concern, and what your options are.
