A modern fireplace has many parts, the hearth, surround, mantel, firebox, flue, smoke chamber, smoke shelf, damper, spark arrester, chimney cap, and ash dump. While you can maintain the hearth and mantle yourself, a professional chimney sweep is needed to keep everything else running properly.

Good advice: “Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you.” (National Fire Protection Association)

A common question when people move into a house with a chimney is how often they need to have it cleaned. The answer to this depends on how often the fireplace or stove is used, but yearly inspections should be scheduled no matter what to keep everything in good working order.

The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 states that, "Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances." A professional chimney sweep can do all this and more.

The dryer vent is an essential part of the modern tumble clothes dryer. Without it, the air heated by the dryer and containing moisture from the wet clothes would go into your house, where it could be a source of rot and mold. Keep your dryer vent operating properly by having it cleaned regularly.

Here are some top safety tips when using your fireplace: Use aged wood; prefer small fires to large ones; and remove all flammable items from around your hearth before starting a fire.

Although calling in a chimney sweep annually may be considered a standard practice, it’s not always the best schedule to follow. If your family loves to curl up by the fire more often than the typical family, it may be necessary to clean it more often for safety purposes.

Consumer Reports notes that improper dryer vents are perhaps the biggest safety problem, where dryer fires are concerned. Flexible foil or plastic ducts are difficult to keep clean, the ridges can trap lint, and they sag which allows lint to collect at low points.

Have you ever wondered how your fireplace works? Simply put, because heat rises, it carries the smoke and harmful chemicals out of the house through the chimney. This process can cause a dangerous build-up on the inside of your chimney, which is why you need regular cleanings.

Older fireplaces may not have effective damper systems to lock out cold air in winter (and hot air in summer). Instead of sealing off a functional fireplace because of drafts, some consumers are adding top sealing chimney cap systems that include built-in damper assemblies.

Although few things are as fun to snuggle in front of on a cold night that a roaring blaze in your fireplace, this type of fire often produces more smoke and less warmth. Not only will a smaller fire often produce more warmth, but it will also help to keep your chimney clean.

An annual inspection and sweeping of your chimney will include a smoke test to ensure that the chimney is unclogged and drawing smoke correctly. This will also reveal any gaps or leaks in the chimney structure that need to be repaired.
