How do I know if my chimney needs cleaning?

Several signs indicate your chimney needs professional cleaning. White staining on the exterior (efflorescence), rust on the damper or firebox, and animals or birds in the chimney are clear indicators. You should also watch for smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney.If you notice a strong odor coming from your fireplace, especially in summer humidity, that’s often creosote buildup. Damaged mortar joints, cracked chimney crown, or water leaks also signal the need for professional attention.The safest approach is annual inspection regardless of these signs. Our certified technicians can spot problems before they become dangerous or expensive. Don’t wait for obvious signs – preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs.
