Most chimney owners wait right before the cold weather storms in to get their chimney swept, but we are here to tell you today that getting your chimney swept well before then is vital to keeping your house and chimney safe. Here are five reasons to get your chimney swept early:
- When the winter season has past and the warm weather rolls around, it is commonplace for you to stop thinking about your furnace, fireplace and chimney. However, there are benefits to get your chimney read for the next winter season early. The closer you get to winter, the more you will need your chimney and companies fill up fast with appointments. In doing your maintenance early, you can get your chimney serviced much quicker and you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your chimney and flue have been serviced.

- Neglecting the residue in your chimney from the previous winter can wear out your masonry faster and drastically increases the chances that you’ll need costly repairs. The deterioration process is slow, but leaving the soot in the chimney during the spring and summer months will expose your masonry and flue to the corrosion that is left over from using your chimney all winter.
- Terrible odors can emit from your fireplace if not properly maintained and these smells are the worst during the spring and summer. This smell can spread throughout your home. Through annual sweeping and even deodorizing your fireplace after the winter months, you can minimize and eliminate the smells coming from your chimney.
- Early maintenance also allows the discovery of any potential dangers or any damage to your chimney. Every year people find that they’ve got heating system emergencies just when they need heat-in the middle of winter.
- Plain and simple. You will save a ton of money with annual maintenance, especially done before it gets cold. Early detection of damages in your chimney will save you hundreds when it comes to repairs. Keep your home and family safe and take care of your chimney early and often.
