How often should I have my chimney swept in New Jersey?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, but cleaning frequency depends on how often you use your fireplace. If you burn more than a cord of wood per year, you’ll need cleaning every season.Most Monmouth Hills homeowners who use their fireplace regularly need cleaning once a year, typically before the heating season begins. However, if you notice white staining on the outside of your chimney, animals or birds, or strong odors, you need immediate attention.We recommend scheduling your annual service in early fall, before you start using your fireplace. This timing ensures you’re ready for winter and can address any summer damage from weather or animals.

What's the difference between a chimney inspection and cleaning?

A chimney inspection examines the entire system for safety issues, structural problems, and code compliance. Cleaning removes creosote, debris, and blockages that have built up from regular use.Every professional cleaning should include an inspection, but you can have an inspection without cleaning if your chimney is already clean. Level 1 inspections are routine maintenance checks, while Level 2 inspections are required for insurance claims or real estate transactions.We always start with an inspection to determine exactly what your chimney needs. This approach prevents unnecessary work and ensures we address the most important safety issues first.

Can I clean my chimney myself to save money?
