Make Your Fireplace More Efficient with Local Chimney Sweeping Services
Winters in your area can get extreme at times. Whether you’re a homeowner or you run a business, you’d want to live or work under a warm, cozy roof, so you don’t get frostbitten. The thing is, as your fireplace burns, excess smoke and gases flow through the chimney, which can leave behind debris and soot in the flue. Eventually, this dirt gets stuck in the chimney and strains your heating system, decreasing its efficiency over time.
But that’s not a problem you need to worry about anymore, because Bob’s Chimney provides fireplace chimney sweep services in your area. Whether you want to make your living room warmer in the cold season or maintain proper temperatures in your cellar, we make sure your chimney is clean enough to allow combustion gases to vent efficiently. The result is a thermally consistent and comfortable indoor environment you can feel safe in.
Are your commercial gas fireplace units unable to give you consistent heat output? We recommend that you schedule our chimney sweeping services to solve the issue. Call us now!

Protect Your Property from Chimney Fires Through Chimney Sweep Services
Some people assume that a chimney is supposed to contain fires anyway and that they’re in the clear even if they haven’t been maintaining their chimneys, but that’s a misconception. When creosote builds up for too long, it reacts with hot fires and sparks from the fireplace to cause a chimney fire. Research shows that in the U.S alone, about 25,000 chimney fires take place every year, causing deaths and major property damage.
If a chimney fire does ever happen, the safest thing you can do is to evacuate everyone as soon as possible, call 911, and cut off the fire supply. But since prevention is better than cure, we highly recommend regularly scheduling chimney maintenance services to prioritize your safety. If you have a wood-burning fireplace, you should clean the chimney twice a year. For smokeless fuels, it’s recommended to schedule chimney cleaning once a year.

The Three Levels of Chimney Sweeping and Cleaning
Level 1
Basic Chimney Safety Check
This is the most basic level of chimney inspection that involves thoroughly checking all accessible parts of the chimney, like the damper, flue, and so on. We recommend a level 1 inspection when your furnace is mostly working fine, and you haven’t noticed major problems.
Level 2
Advanced Inspection With Video Scan
This level goes a step further by using an HD video scanning system to check accessible parts and also check the attic, crawl spaces, and basements. Level 2 chimney inspection and cleaning are important when you’ve installed a new chimney component or heating appliance.
Level 3
Full Structural Chimney Assessment
This is the highest level of chimney inspection and sweeping that involves removing parts of the chimney to discover damage that could not be found in levels 1 or 2. This level is important when the chimney has gone through extensive damage, and a component needs to be replaced.
Trust Bob’s Chimney. We provide affordable and high-quality chimney cleaning services.
When Should You Call a Professional Chimney Sweeper?
1.
You use a wood-burning furnace or a gas fireplace unit quite often. These systems may need more frequent cleaning, especially after heavy use, to stay efficient.
2.
Smoke is entering your rooms, or you notice smoky, burning smells. In most cases, this is a sign of a fire hazard because of obstructions or internal chimney damage.
3.
Besides burning smells, you may notice rotten odors or buzzing sounds coming from the chimney. Usually, this happens when rodents have settled inside the chimney.
4.
When a heavy snowstorm or rain takes place and you see water gathered around the crown. It’s important to repair the crown to keep the damage from extending.
5.
When you see visible cracks on the chimney’s masonry or missing bricks in various areas. Consider getting the masonry tuckpointed to prevent air leaks.
6.
When it’s been over a year since you last cleaned your chimney. As per the National Fire Protection Association, you should sweep the chimney once a year.

The Benefits of Regular Chimney Sweeping and Fireplace Services
- Chimney sweeping makes your stoves, fireplaces, and furnaces work more efficiently. This means they’ll produce better heat while consuming less energy.
- As an added benefit of improved heat efficiency, you will be able to save more money. This is because less energy consumption means reduced energy bills.
- You won’t have to spend as much money on expensive repairs as a person who doesn’t maintain their chimney. Your heating system would last longer.
- Buildup in the chimney is not always obvious. Regular chimney inspection services help point out problems in the chimney that you wouldn’t know of otherwise.
- To stay compliant with insurance policies in your area, it’s important to conduct chimney inspections. This helps avoid problems during insurance claims.
- Prevents the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. This is significant as carbon monoxide is highly dangerous because it is odorless and colorless.
Are you worried because your energy bills are rising without an apparent reason? Let us inspect your chimney just in case and check if dirt buildup is making it use more energy.

How much do chimney sweep services cost in my area?
