If you’re a homeowner who uses their chimney throughout our cold and snowy Indiana winters, then there’s one specific annual maintenance task you don’t want to skip out on. We’re referring to having your chimney swept and inspected before the upcoming fall season. However, there are four questions to ask before hiring a chimney sweep.
Why should you hire a chimney sweep?Hiring a chimney sweep comes down to one important word: safety. Having your chimney swept and inspected cuts down on the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It also helps to reduce the risk of creosote buildup starting a chimney fire.
Plus, there are monetary considerations as well. One of the benefits of working with Chimney Solutions is that we can help increase the efficiency of your system, saving you money in the long run.
There are two answers to this question. The first is that hiring a chimney sweep is something you should do at least once a year. Ideally, you would do this in the off-season, between May and September, when your chimney is most likely not in use.
This is, of course, the minimum. If you use your chimney outside of the colder months, you may need a twice-a-year sweep and inspection. In addition, if you notice any indication of a thick, sticky, tar-like substance on the inside of your flue, you should call us right away. This substance is creosote, and the faster it builds up the more frequently you’ll need to have your chimney swept and inspected.
A chimney sweep will obviously help keep your chimney clean. Beyond that, they should perform an in-depth inspection of the structure, including the cap, crown, and flue, as well as the brick and mortar. While there, they should also remove any blockages such as animals or debris. Finally, they can perform basic repairs to keep your chimney in peak operational condition.
What price should I expect to pay when I hire a chimney sweep?The price of a standard chimney sweep will vary from company to company. It’s always best to reach out and discuss the cost while scheduling your appointment. Depending on the level of services they provide, it shouldn’t cost more than $400 and may be as low as $150. The national average is right around $250. This, of course, assumes that your chimney doesn’t need significant repairs. A missing cap, for example, can cost as little as $25 upwards of $800, depending on the type of materials you choose to replace it with.
Our company focuses on not only keeping your family safe but allowing you to use your chimney all season long. When hiring a chimney sweep, trust in the best: the team at Chimney Solutions.
