FAQ's for Chimney Services
-
How often should I have my chimney inspected and cleaned?
It's recommended to have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year. Regular maintenance ensures that your chimney is safe and functioning properly, preventing potential hazards like chimney fires and carbon monoxide buildup.
-
What are the signs that my chimney needs cleaning?
Common signs include a strong odor coming from the fireplace, excessive soot buildup, reduced draft, smoke filling the room, and visible creosote deposits inside the chimney. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a cleaning.
-
Why is creosote buildup dangerous?
Creosote is a highly flammable substance that can accumulate inside your chimney from burning wood. If not removed, it can ignite and cause a chimney fire, posing a serious risk to your home and family. Regular cleaning helps prevent creosote buildup.
-
Can I clean my chimney myself, or should I hire a professional?
While some homeowners attempt to clean their chimneys themselves, it's often safer and more effective to hire a professional. Chimney sweeps have the necessary tools, expertise, and knowledge to thoroughly clean and inspect your chimney, ensuring it’s in optimal condition.
-
What should I do if I notice a leak in my chimney?
If you notice water stains, dampness, or any signs of a leak around your chimney, it's important to address it promptly. Leaks can cause significant damage to the chimney structure and your home. Contact a professional chimney service to assess and repair the issue.
-
What is a chimney cap, and why do I need one?
A chimney cap is a protective covering installed at the top of your chimney. It helps prevent rain, snow, debris, and animals from entering the chimney. A chimney cap also helps reduce downdrafts and improves the efficiency of your fireplace or stove. Installing a chimney cap is a simple and effective way to protect your chimney and enhance its performance.

"Select Chimney Service was a lifesaver! We had a blockage and they were able to fit us in quickly. The technician (I believe his name was Michael) was friendly and explained everything clearly. Reasonably priced too. Two thumbs up!"
Emily Rodriguez
"Decided to get our chimney inspected before winter and went with Select Chimney Service based on their online reviews. So glad we did! They were thorough, pointed out a couple of minor repairs needed, and even offered to handle them for us. Very impressed. Will definitely use them again."
