How do I know if my chimney needs to be swept?

But if you’re not sure, then there are a few other signs that you can look for. For starters, if you’ve noticed that your fireplace isn’t producing as much heat as it used to, then it’s probably time to get your chimney swept.

This is because a buildup of soot and creosote can block the air flow, making it harder for your fireplace to do its job.


Another sign that your chimney needs to be swept is if you’ve noticed a strange smell coming from your fireplace.

This could be a sign that there’s a buildup of creosote in your chimney, which can be dangerous if it’s not taken care of.


Finally, if you’ve noticed that your chimney is producing a lot of smoke, then it’s definitely time to call in the chimney sweep.

So, now that you know the signs that your chimney needs to be swept, it’s time to call in the professionals.

A professional chimney sweep will be able to inspect your chimney and determine if it needs to be cleaned.

They’ll also be able to remove any buildup of soot and creosote, ensuring that your fireplace is safe and efficient.


But before you call in the chimney sweep, there are a few things that you should do to prepare.

First, make sure that your fireplace is completely cool before the chimney sweep arrives. This will help ensure that the chimney sweep can do their job safely and efficiently.


Second, make sure that you have all of the necessary tools and materials on hand.

This includes a brush, a vacuum, and a ladder.

The chimney sweep will need these items in order to do their job properly.


Finally, make sure that you have a plan for what to do with the soot and creosote that the chimney sweep removes.

This could include disposing of it in a safe manner or having it recycled.


So, now that you know how to tell if your chimney needs to be swept, it’s time to call in the professionals.

A professional chimney sweep will be able to inspect your chimney and determine if it needs to be cleaned.
