How Often Should I Have My Chimney Inspected & Swept?
Chimney inspections and sweepings should be completed annually – no matter the fuel you burn or your appliance type. Whether you’re using a wood-burning fireplace, a gas insert, a pellet stove, or something else, proper chimney maintenance can prevent hazards like chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, structural damage, and more.
Remember that neglecting chimney maintenance can lead to serious consequences. Creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires, so failing to have it regularly cleared out can invite serious risks. Even with cleaner-burning gas systems, unnoticed cracks or blockages can cause carbon monoxide to enter your living space. And water damage from an unsealed or deteriorating chimney can lead to expensive repairs down the road, not just for your flue, but for other areas of your home, as well.
Do I need annual chimney inspections if I rarely – or never – use my fireplace?
Yes, even if you only use your fireplace a few times a season or never at all, annual overviews are a must for maintaining home value, avoiding home damage, and ensuring your system is okay to use, should you ever want to light a fire in the future.
- Unused chimneys can still damage your home. Just because a chimney isn’t actively venting smoke doesn’t mean it’s harmless. Moisture from rain or snow can seep in through a damaged or missing chimney cap or crown, leading to interior water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration in walls, ceilings, and roofing materials.
- Unused chimneys might attract animals and pests. Birds, squirrels, raccoons, and insects often take up residence in chimneys that aren’t regularly maintained. These animals can build nests, invite pests, leave behind waste, and cause blockages or damage to your chimney lining, potentially creating fire hazards or introducing unpleasant odors into your home.
- Unused chimneys accumulate debris. Leaves, twigs, soot, and even bits of deteriorating brick or mortar can accumulate in a dormant chimney. This debris can cause blockages and restrict airflow if you ever do decide to use the fireplace again. It can also serve as kindling if a stray ember ever makes its way into the flue.
- Unused chimneys may lower home value. A neglected chimney can be a red flag for homebuyers. If you plan to sell your home, a level 2 chimney inspection is often required — and if issues are found, they could reduce your home’s value or delay the sale. Regular inspections show that your home has been well cared for, which is a plus in any real estate transaction.
