Frequently Asked Questions
A chimney sweep (or chimney cleaning) is the process of removing the creosote that accumulates inside the chimney and fireplace. Regular chimney cleanings, inspections, and maintenance should be performed on wood-burning fireplaces and appliance venting systems such as heating oil, natural gas, and wood/pellet stoves by a chimney sweep. Even fireplaces that are rarely used should be inspected annually to ensure the chimney is free of creosote, soot, cracks or loose mortar and is safe for use
Creosote buildup is a highly flammable substance that increases the risk of a house fire. Keep your home and family safe — schedule a Chimney cleaning before you light your next fire. Rest assured that Simple Sweeps guarantees a job well done.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that chimneys, fireplaces, and vents in frequent use be inspected & swept annually. These inspections ensure that the ventilation paths are free from harmful deposits and blockages, compliance with clearance requirements, and that the chimney is structurally sound.
What we recommend:
- Before each heating season
- Prior to purchasing a new home
- Prior to installation of a new fuel-burning appliance (furnace, hot water heater)
- After occurrences such as chimney fires, trees / branches hitting the chimney, or lightning strikes
- If you experience recurring back-drafts of smoke or notice soot anywhere in your home
