Questions
Chimney Sweep FAQs
How often should a chimney be swept?
NFPA 211 calls for an inspection every year and a sweep whenever deposits build up. Most wood-burning homes in Norwood need one sweep a year; heavy users or homes burning unseasoned wood may need two.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
Most single-flue sweeps take about an hour to an hour and a half, including the inspection. Multi-flue chimneys or heavy glazed creosote take longer.
Is creosote dangerous?
Yes. Creosote is flammable and is the main cause of chimney fires. Glazed, third-stage creosote is the hardest to remove and the most dangerous, which is why regular sweeping matters.
