Westampton Township's Most Trusted Chimney Sweep — Safe Homes, Clean Flues, Peace of Mind

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends annual chimney inspections and sweeping for any chimney in regular use. Wood-burning systems used frequently may require cleaning mid-season as well. Even chimneys used infrequently should be inspected annually, as animals, moisture, and structural changes can create hazards regardless of usage.

Creosote is a flammable byproduct of wood combustion that deposits on flue walls. It exists in three stages — from flaky and brushable to a dense, tar-like glaze — and is the leading cause of chimney fires. Third-degree creosote in particular is extremely difficult to remove and can ignite at temperatures your fireplace routinely reaches during normal use.

A Level 1 inspection covers accessible areas of a regularly maintained chimney. A Level 2 inspection — required when selling a home, after a fire, or when changing fuel types — includes video scanning of the full flue interior. A Level 3 inspection involves removal of components to access concealed areas and is performed when serious hazards are suspected.

A standard chimney sweeping appointment for a single-flue system typically takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on the level of buildup and the complexity of the system.
