Chimeny Sweeping: Do You Know When It's Necessary?

Unlike most home repairs, there is no set guideline of how to tell if you need to have your chimney swept. Though you may not be able to identify distinguishing characteristics of a dirty chimney as a homeowner, there are a few instances when you should always call your local chimney sweep to clean out the gunk.

For example, moving to a new home... Regardless of how clean the previous tenants may have kept the property, there's a good chance that the chimney didn't get cleaned before they moved out. Burning fires on a regular basis while a chimney is dirty not only impacts the air quality in your home, but also the safety of the chimney itself. When a chimney is clogged with creosote buildup after a few seasons of regular fires, the buildup can ignite, sparking a chimney fire.
