When to do Fireplace Inspection

The job of the fireplace sweep is to remove soot, blockages and built-up creosote from your chimney liner, firebox, smoke chamber and damper. This cleaning will help create a safer operation of your system during the heating system.

At South Atlantic Masonry and Concrete Contractor located in Peachtree City, Atlanta, Newnan, Sharpsburg, and Senoia, we give you some tips that help you know when do you need to clean your fireplace:

1. To be sure that all of your systems are in working order and operating as they should, it is recommended that homeowners get an annual fireplace inspection.

2. Other venting systems connected to furnaces and stoves should also be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain safer operation.

3. If you only have minimal use of your fireplace or stove, an inspection is still advised annually to look at all heating venting systems, chimneys, stove systems and furnace flues. During these inspections any defects or issues that may be found that require action even if cleaning is not needed.

4. If you haven’t had your chimney inspected in a year or more, if you are having any performance issues with your chimney, fireplace or heating system or if you have recently purchased the home you should schedule an inspection.

5. If you have not used your fireplace in a long time, pests may have built nests that could clog your flue or chimney chamber. The longer the defects go without being addressed, the more expensive the repairs are likely to be.
