An annual inspection and sweeping of your chimney will include a smoke test to ensure that the chimney is unclogged and drawing smoke correctly. This will also reveal any gaps or leaks in the chimney structure that need to be repaired.

One of the best ways to prevent the drawbacks of fireplaces is to have a properly-fitted and functioning chimney liner. A chimney liner provides insulation and helps prevent toxic gases from entering your home.

If you have a chimney, you might wonder when the best time of year is to have it cleaned. Late summer or early fall is a good time, since this means the fireplace will be ready to use when it gets cold, but chimney sweeps can do cleaning and inspection at other times if necessary.

It’s generally recommended that a fireplace be cleaned when one-eighth of sooty buildup is evident inside the chimney and flue system. If any glaze is evident, then cleaning should be done regardless of buildup amount, as this is the most flammable type of creosote.

The best time of the year to clean a chimney is after the cold season has just ended. Whether it's the early or late spring, any deposits on the flue liner are more easily removed.

The National Fire Protection Association states: "Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary." Following this national safety standard is the best way to ensure safe operation of your chimney.

One of the scariest things about chimney fires is that it can be a while before anyone notices them. Because they tend to occur soon after adding new fuel to the fire, many people are on their way to bed or going out the door. Regular inspection and cleaning of your chimney are the best ways to prevent these fires.

It’s important to remember that some types of fires are inherently dirtier than others when it comes to your chimney. For instance, burning things like cardboard or old Christmas trees can create more debris to accumulate in the chimney and could even spark a fire.

Did you know that water can be a chimney's worst enemy? In fact, chimney leaks can cause more damage to masonry chimneys than fire. Chimneys are particularly vulnerable to moisture, as they are constantly exposed to rain, snow, wind, and the freeze and thaw cycles of winter.

Getting ready to sell your house? Don’t forget to have the chimneys inspected, cleaned, and repaired if necessary. A Level 2 chimney inspection is generally required before a property can be sold, and a clean, functioning fireplace helps you get the most for your home.

One important part of a chimney inspection is the metal flashing on the roof that's designed to keep water from coming inside. The caulking on the flashing can give way over time.
