Why Regular Chimney Sweeping Is Essential for St. Louis Homes

St. Louis winters are long and cold, which means your fireplace gets heavy use from October through March. Every time you burn wood, your chimney accumulates soot, ash, and a highly flammable substance called creosote. Over time, creosote builds up on the inside walls of your flue and becomes a serious fire hazard.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that chimneys be inspected and swept at least once per year. For St. Louis homeowners who burn wood regularly, sweeping every season is the safest approach. Skipping annual maintenance is the leading cause of chimney fires — and chimney fires can spread to your walls, attic, and roof within minutes.
