Do you use your fireplace often? You may love sitting around a cozy fireplace—but when was the last time it was swept? If it’s been a long time or you’ve never had it done, you should call us, Southern Idaho’s top chimney sweeping team, at 208-377-1877.
A clean chimney helps move dangerous smoke and gasses out of your home so you can enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. But how often should it be cleaned? An annual inspection and chimney sweeping can help prevent smoke backup or a fire. But if you’re regularly using your fireplace, you should get a seasonal inspection and cleaning to be safe. For example, you’d want to get your chimney cleaned and inspected before winter when chimneys are used most often.
Several signs indicate when your chimney needs cleaning. If you notice any of these signs, call our team right away. We’ll help you avoid a potential disaster.
Several factors affect the final cost of professional chimney sweeping in Boise. If you haven’t had your chimney cleaned in a while, it’ll likely take longer and require more work to clean it. This will raise the cost of chimney cleaning. Another factor affecting the cost of chimney cleaning is the ease of accessibility. Some chimneys are easy to access, while others may sit atop steeply pitched roofs, making them difficult to reach. As you would expect, hard-to-reach chimneys may end up costing more to clean. You should also consider what other chimney services you may need. Whether it’s a repair, removing debris or animals, or installing a chimney cap—each additional service will add to the total cost.
There are cases in which you can handle the chimney cleaning on your own. You can try keeping your chimney clean in between professional cleanings from CTR. Regular maintenance can extend the time between professional cleanings and help maintain the functionality of your chimney. However, if there’s a major soot build-up, an animal nesting in the chimney, or you just don’t feel comfortable handling it on your own, contact us. Our team can safely handle whatever difficulties you’re facing.
