How often should I have my chimney swept in Castle Point?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney cleaning and inspection for most homeowners. However, if you use your fireplace frequently during winter months, you may need cleaning twice per year.Castle Point’s coastal environment can accelerate wear on chimney components due to salt air exposure. We typically recommend annual service for occasional users and bi-annual service for homes that use their fireplace more than 20 times per year.The frequency also depends on the type of wood you burn. Softwoods like pine create more creosote buildup than hardwoods like oak or maple, requiring more frequent cleaning to prevent dangerous accumulation.

What are the signs that my chimney needs cleaning?

White staining on the outside of your chimney indicates water damage and potential structural issues. A strong odor coming from your fireplace, especially during humid weather, usually means creosote buildup that needs immediate attention.You should also watch for animals or birds in your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, and a white film on the glass doors after burning. These are all signs that your chimney needs professional attention before the problem gets worse.If you notice smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, or if you see oily stains around the fireplace, call us immediately. These indicate serious blockages that could create dangerous conditions for your family.
