Safety First: Why Your Chimney Needs Attention

San Antonio Chimney Sweep conducts Level 1 to Level 3 chimney inspections, depending on your home’s needs. Our experts look for flue blockages, cracks in the liner, chimney cap issues, and other red flags.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How often should I get my chimney cleaned?
A: The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections and cleanings based on usage. Homes using fireplaces or wood stoves more than twice a week during winter should clean their chimneys every 6 months.

Q3: What signs indicate I need chimney service?
A: Common signs include smoky rooms, strong odors, white staining on the exterior, or visible cracks in the chimney crown. If you notice any of these, call for an inspection.
