The best thing you can do to maintain the health of your chimney is to have it inspected annually by Fresh Air Duct Cleaning. Even if you don’t use your chimney often, a yearly inspection will ensure it meets all of the building codes needed to remain safe and operable.

If you do use it often, then a yearly chimney sweeping is vital. A buildup of soot, ash, and creosote can lead to a house fire, putting you and your family in harm’s way.

Finally, choose the right fuel for your fireplace. If you have a wood-burning fireplace, burn the correct type of wood. The wood should be dry to the touch and well-seasoned. Avoid woods like pine, fir, and cedar, as they produce more creosote and require more frequent cleanings. Instead, use hardwoods like oak, ash, and beech.

Chimney cleaning logs sort of work. Their purpose is to loosen the creosote, soot, and ash buildup in the chimney. However, they do not completely remove the buildup. Instead, they make it easier for the sweeper to remove the buildup during the cleaning process. Chimney cleaning logs should not completely replace the sweeping process. You are welcome to use a log before you use our services so our team can have an easier time cleaning the chimney, but you should not use a chimney cleaning log to substitute a professional chimney sweeping from Fresh Air Duct Cleaning.

 

Yes, landlords are responsible for the care and safety of all heating and cooling appliances on a rental property. Since the fireplace and chimney are built into the property and are typically used as a secondary heating source, the landlord is responsible for cleaning the chimney. Before taking the next steps, you should consult your lease terms for more details.
