The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 says, "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." Not only does Chimney Sweep & Repair Pro Jackson highly recommend you get your chimney inspected and cleaned once a year, we also recommend cleaning it more often if you see a buildup of creosote that is 1/8 of an inch thick.

Experienced Fire Damage

A trained professional has the right equipment to identify any risk factors as well as remove creosote buildup.  When creosote buildup gets to 1/8 of an inch thick, it becomes a serious fire hazard as it is highly flammable. It can appear like black flaky tar coating your chimney and if it is extremely bad, the surface will be smooth from repeated recoating.  Once it is thicker than 1/8 of an inch, the flammable creosote in the chimney can easily catch fire from the flames below.  A professional chimney sweep will ensure all creosote is scraped off your chimney liner and firebox in a clean efficient way, which does not allow any soot to enter your living area.  If it is determined that the creosote is too thick for removal, a replacement of your chimney liner is the safest option.

Professional Water Damage

Water erosion will cause cracks and gaps in your flue tiles or mortar joints of the exterior of your chimney stack. This is especially likely if you live in a climate that goes below freezing, the freeze/thaw effect will create cracks quicker as water gets trapped in crevasses and expands when it freezes. Once cracks are present, they must be repaired before starting another fire in your chimney. Water in the chimney causes rust in steel and cast iron, weakening or destroying the metal parts such as the firebox assemblies. Water also rots and clogs components of the chimney and can cause tilting or collapse of supportive structures if severe enough. Water will also pool on the smoke shelf, mix with the creosote/soot behind the damper, and form an acidic sludge that seeps into the fire back destroying the mortar joints. If neglected long enough, water damage can deteriorate your entire heating system and become very costly. If you notice any of the signs of water damage, have them inspected immediately to prevent further damage.
