Why Is Chimney Sweeping Important?

Regular chimney sweeping helps reduce the risk of occurrences such as chimney fires or even dangerous gases from entering back into your home due to blockages. A chimney technician will remove creosote or soot buildup, check for blockages in the chimney flue, and clear away any debris left in the firebox. It is a dirty job, and one that we recommend only be handled by a certified chimney technician.

How Often Should I Have My Chimney Cleaned (Swept) & Inspected?

Unfortunately, this isn’t a straightforward answer. It all depends on how often you use your home heating system, the type of fuel you use, and the overall condition of your chimney.

However, we can say it is safe to recommend that you have your chimney swept and inspected at least once a year. This number may increase if you use your fireplace frequently or year-round.

Do I need to have my chimney inspected if I don’t use it?

Yes! In fact, we can’t emphasize enough how important it is to still schedule inspections even if you don’t use your fireplace. There could be potential problems that go undetected and lead to even more expensive repairs down the road. Also, chimneys are a great place to hide for birds, squirrels, or even raccoons. You don’t want those kinds of friends dropping in unannounced!

What Happens During a Chimney Cleaning?

That’s a great question. First, let’s talk technical terms. You might hear chimney cleaning referred to as “chimney sweeping,” which is where the term “chimney sweep” came from when referring to the person actually cleaning or sweeping the chimney.

Here at Lou Curley, we like the terms “chimney technician” and “sweeping” to keep it less confusing. Typically, when we think of something getting “cleaned” we tend to think that means it’s spotless and free from any sort of dirt or grime. However, when we’re talking about chimney cleaning, it’s important to understand that we are not coming in to get your chimney spotless – that’s almost impossible.

Rather, our objective is to remove all the nasty buildup present and address any blockages that have accumulated. That way, your furnace, wood stove, and/or fireplace chimney can work as effectively as possible to keep you and your family safer, all while you enjoy the warmth these systems bring to your home.

When you choose our crew to service your chimney, you can count on our expert technicians to sweep your chimney thoroughly from top to bottom.

What can you expect from the process?

• Our certified technicians will start by prepping your home with tarps to protect your flooring.
• From there, we’ll use our special brushes to “sweep” the chimney while running one of our professional HEPA vacuums to help catch any debris created during the process.
• Once that is done, we’ll do a thorough inspection of the inside and outside of your chimney, making sure there are no potential issues.
• When all that is done, we’ll go over the process with you, share the pictures we have taken, and offer any needed recommendations.
