Chimney cleaning isn’t just about maintaining appearances—it’s essential for the safety and efficiency of your home. At Meyer’s Chimney Sweep & Repair, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners stay safe by performing regular chimney cleanings across the region.
The Dangers of a Dirty Chimney:
When soot, debris, and creosote (a highly flammable byproduct of wood burning) build up inside your chimney, they can lead to chimney fires, smoke damage, and even carbon monoxide poisoning. Creosote buildup is the #1 cause of chimney fires in the U.S.
How Often Should You Clean Your Chimney?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends cleaning at least once a year. However, if you use your fireplace frequently, bi-annual cleanings may be necessary.
