The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends that “Chimney maintenance is best achieved through annual inspections, and mechanical sweeping, by trained professional chimney sweeps as frequently as needed. Chimney inspections often reveal hidden problems with a chimney structure that could be potentially hazardous. Mechanical sweeping of chimneys not only removes layers of creosote from the chimney surface, it removes the resulting loose soot and creosote from the chimney, fireplace, or wood stove.” A professional chimney sweep should be inspecting and cleaning your chimney at least once a year.
An experienced chimney sweep will perform a full service that includes a professional inspection to make sure that your chimney system is working to its full capacity and that it is structurally sound. A proper chimney cleaning service should be performed by a certified technician that not only cleans your chimney, but also performs a thorough maintenance check to ensure safe and proper performance. In addition, proper care and maintenance of chimneys, woodstoves, and fireplaces can help protect your home from unnecessary fires and carbon monoxide poisonings. A professional chimney sweep should also be knowledgeable about building codes, trained to recognize any deterioration or venting problems and be able to advise you regarding any problems and the condition of your chimney.

What if I see cracks in my fireplace?
Cracks can cause venting problems and become a safety hazard. An annual inspection can detect any dangerous cracks or leaks and they can be addressed or repaired immediately.
It is important that you schedule routine maintenance for the chimney in your Long Island home, because an uncleaned chimney can be dangerous. The buildup of soot, dirt and chemicals can be flammable and hazardous. A chimney cleaning service is essential to your Long Island home. If you have a fireplace, every time you use it, a substance called creosite can build up. Creosite is highly flammable and becomes more difficult and expensive to clean, the longer it builds up inside the flue lining of the chimney. In addition, because it is highly combustible, if it builds up in sufficient quantities and the internal flue temperature is high enough, the unfortunate result could be a chimney fire.
Routine maintenance services include the removal of any hazardous or combustible creosite and eliminating any accumulation of soot, dirt and debris. It is a fact that a clean chimney will work substantially more efficiently than a dirty one. An unclean chimney will not properly vent the smoke to the exterior of your home and can become dangerous. An experienced chimney sweep can perform a thorough chimney cleaning at your home on Long Island.
Can a chimney sweep ensure that my chimney and fireplace are safe?
Any experienced chimney sweep always has the safety of the homeowners at the top of their concerns. In addition to keeping your chimney clean and running efficiently, safety should always be an important consideration in the maintenance of your chimney. While chimney professionals can advise you regarding safety concerns, you should always take precautions and follow all safety regulations as an informed homeowner.
Limbs or trees that are too close to the chimney can cause drafting issues and problems with your fireplace. A chimney blockage can create a dangerous situation in your home. An overgrown tree branch may block the top of your chimney, preventing smoke and carcinogens from exiting the house. Smoke and gases that build up within the home can produce carbon monoxide. This deadly and odorless gas can accumulate to dangerous levels when a blocked chimney or flue prevents the gases from properly venting out and away from the home.
A falling branch or tree limb may damage your chimney causing cracks in the structure or bricks to fall off or decay. A damaged chimney will not properly vent smoke and gas which can also cause carbon monoxide to build up within your home. In addition to harboring harmful gases, a damaged chimney can be costly to repair. The best way to protect your chimney and your home is to trim or prune any branches that are too close to your home or hanging over your roof or chimney.
If a chimney sweep detects a blockage problem, be sure to have it addressed.
Yes. A chimney cap can prevent animals from entering your home, keep the moisture out, and protect the roof from burning embers starting a house fire. Installing a simple chimney cap with mesh siding will prevent any animals from climbing in.
