How often should I have my chimney swept in Everett?

Most homeowners should have their chimney swept at least once a year, typically before the heating season starts. If you burn more than three cords of wood per year, you might need cleaning twice annually.The frequency also depends on what you burn and how often you use your fireplace. Burning green or wet wood creates more creosote buildup, which means more frequent cleaning. We recommend scheduling your annual cleaning in late summer or early fall, before you start using your fireplace regularly.During your cleaning, we’ll assess your specific usage patterns and let you know if your chimney needs more frequent attention based on what we find during the inspection.

What are the signs that my chimney needs cleaning?

White staining on the outside of your chimney is often the first sign of problems. This efflorescence happens when water mixes with salts in the masonry, indicating potential moisture issues that need attention.You should also watch for smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, strong odors coming from the fireplace, or rust on the damper or firebox. These are clear indicators that your chimney isn’t working properly and needs professional attention.Animals or birds in your chimney, damaged chimney crown, or visible creosote buildup are other warning signs. If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait for your annual cleaning – call for an inspection right away to prevent safety hazards.
