Why do I need a chimney sweep?
A chimney sweep (or chimney cleaning) is the process of removing the creosote that accumulates inside the chimney and fireplace. Deposits of soot are extremely flammable and should be removed regularly to prevent a chimney fire. 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.
