Blue Springs Chimney Sweep: Sleep Easy Provides Top-Notch Chimney, Fireplace & Masonry Care

How Do I Know if My Chimney Is Unsafe for Use?

Well, that’s just it: you don’t. Not really, anyway. Sure, there are occasions when it’s very clear that something is awry…you’re hearing water dripping down the flue, it sounds like there is scurrying coming from somewhere in your chimney, you’ve noticed that your fire is burning strangely, etc. But there are just as many cases where there is no indication of damage – and nothing obvious that signifies a need for immediate attention and/or repair.

For this reason, unless you establish a routine fireplace and chimney maintenance schedule – which includes an annual chimney inspection – there is no way to confidently know the health and condition of your appliance.

When it comes to proper chimney care, operating on instinct alone is not enough to ensure your system is creating, maintaining, and venting a fire in the safest way possible. It may be tempting to skip a year if your home is brand new or if you didn’t use your chimney much this past year – but don’t give in. A lot can go wrong behind the scenes, and even new chimneys can have issues, especially if corners were cut during installation.

It’s not worth the risk, especially when chimney inspections are affordable, fast, and the benefits are numerous. So invest in a chimney inspection every year, regardless of age or use. Trust the professionals at Sleep Easy for a job done right – we’ll give everything an in-depth examination and make sure you’re set up for success from the start.

Are Chimney Sweeps & Inspections the Best Way To Know My Chimney’s Condition?

Yes, chimney sweepings and inspections are the best and most reliable way to know your chimney’s current condition – and whether or not repairs are needed. 

A thorough inspection can uncover hidden issues like excessive creosote buildup, structural damage, blockages, or signs of moisture intrusion that aren’t visible from the outside.

That said, there are also some warning signs homeowners can watch for between professional visits:

• Strong, smoky odors coming from the fireplace or chimney
• White staining (efflorescence) or dark discoloration on the chimney exterior
• Pieces of tile or flue liner falling into the firebox
• Excessive soot buildup in or around the fireplace
• Poor draft or smoke backing up into the home
• Animals or nesting debris sounds coming from the chimney
