Chimney sweep services include cleaning the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue to ensure proper ventilation. Beyond just cleaning, these services often involve a safety inspection to check for damaged mortar or cracked flue liners that could leak heat. If you use your fireplace regularly throughout the winter, you should have a sweep perform a cleaning at least once a year to keep the system in good working order.

Additionally, clearing out debris before the rainy season helps prevent moisture-related issues that can lead to unpleasant odors or structural damage.
