You may be thinking it’s the middle of winter so why do I need a chimney sweeping Wilmington service right now? Well, if you haven’t had your chimney swept yet this winter, it’s not too late. A chimney sweep and inspection can be done at any time of year! Or you can plan ahead and get your chimney sweeping service scheduled for the spring time when you are done using your chimney and fireplace for the winter season. It’s always best to call ahead when you are planning to have these things done in the spring, because a lot of customers do their spring cleaning and want everything to sparkle again after the cold winter months. I know I do all of my spring cleaning as soon as it warms up, and we are in Wilmington so winter only lasts about 2 months really. So if you want to beat the March and April crowd, give us a call today and we can schedule your appointment as far in advance as you’d like us to.
You may also be thinking well I just had my chimney sweeping Wilmington service completed last year, why do I need to do it again this year? Well, the National Fire Protection Association says that “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” So even if you didn’t really use your fireplace and chimney that much last year or this year because the weather really hasn’t been that cold. You still need to have your chimney swept and inspected every year to keep it safe and ensure that nothing is blocking or deteriorating your chimney.
We actually had a chimney sweeping customer recently that had two chimneys. One chimney was cleaned and looked amazing. the other chimney not so much. The other chimney had about 5 gallons of soot that our team removed while we were there, had plants growing out of the chimney cap, and aunt had cracks surrounding the fireplace. Basically, that chimney really needed to be cleaned and inspected, and needs repairs done to continue being safe and efficient for that person’s home. Of course that is on the more drastic side of a chimney sweeping service, and not everybody’s chimneys are that bad. but it’s better to be safe and be sure by having your chimney professionally cleaned and inspected every year.
Wood burning fireplaces create a byproduct called creosote. creosote is made mostly up of tar which means it is extremely flammable. not only is it unsafe, but the chimney safety Institute of America states that a 1/8 of an inch of soot buildup is considered enough fuel buildup to cause a chimney fire capable of damaging your chimney and possibly spreading to your home. That’s just 1/8 of an inch. It is so important to have the professionals complete your chimney sweeping Wilmington service on a yearly basis.
The National Fire Protection Association also recorded that from 2016 to 2020 chimneys accounted for over 3,000 fires, 28 deaths, 54 injuries, and $220 million in property damage every single year. Every. Single. Year. That is nuts! Granted that number has gone down since the years before that, but that’s still a lot of fires and property damage that happens every year just from chimneys. and over half of those fires happen within the three months of winter january, february, and december.
So whether you just moved into a new home and you’re not sure when the last chimney sweeping was or it’s looking pretty nasty, there could be animals nesting in or on top of your chimney or chimney cap, you can notice a buildup of black oily spots which is the creosote, or you know it’s been about a year since your last chimney sweeping Wilmington service. go ahead and give Window Ninjas a call today to schedule your appointment. scheduling only takes a couple minutes out of your time right now, then our team will need about an hour of your time to complete your service. We do need somebody to be present during the appointment time as we are cleaning and inspecting your chimney from the inside and the outside, from The Chimney Cap all the way down to the ash box.
