signs that you need Chimney Cleaning
Regular chimney cleaning is essential to maintain a safe and efficient fireplace. Over time, creosote, soot, and debris accumulate, increasing the risk of fires and reducing ventilation. Identifying the signs early can prevent costly damages and safety hazards.
Common signs include a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the fireplace, excessive smoke when using the chimney, or visible soot buildup around the hearth. If you notice poor airflow or difficulty starting a fire, it may indicate blockages in the chimney. Cracks or discoloration on the chimney walls can also be a warning sign of creosote buildup. Ignoring these issues can lead to serious risks, such as chimney fires or harmful carbon monoxide exposure.
