Cypress Sweeps Chimney Service

This is the question of all questions and the hardest to answer. The reason being is because everyone burns differently, everyone burns different wood, the wood is at different moisture content and everyone does not have the same wood burning appliance. So it depends on the wood you burn, how your wood is stored, how much you burn and when you burn your wood. With that said the National Fire Protection Agency recommends every chimney and fireplace be inspected annually. There is not a single answer for everyone so we recommend yearly or twice a year inspection to ensure the correct level of creosote is in your chimney.

When a fireplace smokes 99% of the time it is not due to an excessive amount of creosote blocking the smoke from exiting the chimney. There could be several different possibilities which is causing the fireplace to smoke. The fireplace grate could be to large or to far forward in the fireplace. The heater could be running at the same time you are trying to have a fireplace. Did you recently remodel the room the fireplace is in and go from single pane to double pane windows? Is the fireplace opening to large for the flue it has? Do you have a chimney cap to prevent animals from building a nest in the chimney or to prevent debris from entering the chimney? If your fireplace smokes then you should have an inspection performed rather than a sweep.

It is important to sweep your chimney regularly to prevent creosote from building up inside your chimney. Creosote is basically wood transformed into a different product, which means it is still combustible or it can still ignite. If the creosote in the chimney flue ignites it will cause a chimney fire which can easily spread to other areas of the home and lead to a house fire. If you have never had your chimney swept or inspected it is something to HIGHLY consider.
