How Often Should You Get Your Chimney Cleaned?

It depends on how often and how much you use your fireplace. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), chimneys, vents, and fireplaces should be inspected at least once a year. This ensures that the chimney is still structural sound, the clearances are functioning correctly, and no deposits. They also added that cleaning and maintenance should be done when necessary.

The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) added that, chimneys should be cleaned when the soot buildup is around 1/8-inch thick. However, if you notice any appearance of glaze in your flue, you need to have it cleaned immediately. However, if you notice any appearance of glaze in your flue, you need to have it cleaned immediately. They further added that any time there is a considerable amount of creosote or soot build up can cause chimney fire that might spread to your house.

Fireplaces that have been used heavily often produce a great deal of creosote and soot. In some cases, some chimneys have 5 gallons of dirt and debris. Removing them before they build up to unsafe levels is essential.

Why Should I Get My Chimney Cleaned?

We can never stress it enough that regular cleaning makes your heating system safe and running properly. It only takes a small amount of creosote buildup for it to become a fire hazard. Creosote is a highly-combustible buildup that comes from burning wood.

It accumulates more buildup if you don’t know how to burn wood properly. It can also happen if your fireplace or stove is not working properly. Each type of wood produces a different type of creosote. For example, pine wood produces creosote buildup much faster than other wood. Thus, you should avoid using it as a wood fuel.

When is the Best Time to Have Your Chimney Cleaned?

The ideal time to have your chimneys and fireplaces cleaned is between spring and early fall. It is necessary to have them inspected and cleaned before the burning seasons — before you start to build a fire.

If you forgot to have your chimney or fireplace cleaned earlier, don’t wait until fall. Call Mr. Chimney Cleaning at 888-912-5512 NOW! We inspect and clean chimneys, vents, and fireplaces no matter what the season is.
