Frequently Asked Question
At Rooftop Chimney Services, we understand that our customers often have important questions about chimney maintenance, inspections, and dryer vent cleaning
How often should my chimney be swept?
It’s recommended to have your chimney professionally swept at least once a year. We recommend servicing throughout the year, before the heating season, to beat seasonal rush.
What are the signs that my chimney needs cleaning?
Common signs include:
A strong, smoky odor
Poor fireplace performance
Black soot buildup
Animal nests or debris in the flue
Visible creosote (black, tar-like substance)
What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a highly flammable residue that builds up from burning wood. If not removed regularly, it can cause chimney fires and block airflow, leading to carbon monoxide buildup inside your home.
Is chimney sweeping messy?
Not when done by professionals! We use specialized tools and HEPA-filtered vacuums to keep your home clean and dust-free throughout the process.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
A standard chimney sweeping appointment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the condition and accessibility of the chimney.
Can I clean my chimney myself?
While DIY kits exist, professional chimney sweeping ensures a thorough, safe, and certified job. Experts can also spot hidden issues like cracks, blockages, or structural damage.
Do gas logs/fireplaces/chimneys need to be swept?
Yes. Most gas log systems produce carbon monoxide and are considered a combustion appliance.
