How Often Should You Have Your Chimney Cleaned?

All chimneys should be cleaned a minimum of once per year. However, there may be a need for more frequent cleaning.

How often do you use your heating appliance? Frequent use means more heat and related gasses are being vented through your chimney.
What type of fuel are you using? Different fuels affect your chimney differently. The type of wood used in a fireplace, for instance, determines how much creosote will build up in your flue.
At the minimum, your chimney and venting system needs to be inspected yearly and cleaned if there is any obstruction.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) also recommends that dryer vents be cleaned and inspected yearly. All Pro offers dryer vent cleaning services, too.

Levels of Chimney Inspections

According to the National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 (NFPA 211), your chimney, fireplace, and vents need to be inspected at least once every year. Every All Pro inspection at every level is done by technicians who are certified and familiar with Fairfax, VA codes as well as national standards. You get a written inspection report, pictures and an estimate on any needed repairs.

Level One Inspections are done with easily accessible systems when the homeowner plans to maintain current usage. All Pro does a Level One inspection before cleaning and will not charge you if cleaning is not needed.
Level Two Inspections are done when there is a new home heating appliance, change of fuel, property transfer, or damage to the chimney. Level Two inspection include a level one inspection plus inspection of accessible spaces in the home. The technician also performs Video scans of the chimney.
Level Three Inspections require more in-depth investigation into concealed areas to confirm the construction and condition of your chimney structure and the flue. Level three inspections are most often completed when an incident has damaged your home, or a hazard is detected during a lower level of inspection.
