At Matthew Clark Chimney LLC, we remind Lafayette homeowners that the National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual chimney inspection. If you burn seasoned firewood regularly, your chimney sweep schedule Lafayette routine usually requires a professional cleaning once soot or creosote buildup hits 1/8 inch thick.
How Do You Know Your Lafayette Chimney Needs Swept Right Now?
Do not guess when your masonry needs attention. If you notice a strong, campfire-like odor on humid days in Old Town Lafayette, creosote is likely trapped inside the flue. Other physical red flags include dark soot stains on the firebox walls, sluggish draft when starting a fire, or finding mysterious black flakes gathering near your damper. Waiting until winter hits peak freezing temperatures in Boulder County makes scheduling a hassle.
