Cleaning and Sweeping Needs of Fireplaces and Chimneys

Why is chimney cleaning important?

Creosote (also known as soot) builds up in chimney flues and stoves as wood burns. It’s highly flammable and can cause a fire if it isn’t regularly cleaned away. The substance is carbon-based and usually black or brown in color.

What are the Chimney Inspection Regulations for Vail, Colorado?

There are regulations if you own a masonry or brick fireplace, a factory-built fireplace, a wood stove, a bio-fuel pellet stove, or a gas fireplace. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and most fireplace manufacturers agree that bio-fuel pellet and wood stoves should be swept every year. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces are recommended to be swept when the buildup of soot reaches 1/8”. All should be inspected annually. If you don’t comply with these regulations, many manufacturers will refuse to honor the warranty if something happens to the appliance or chimney liner.

How often does a fireplace need cleaned?

According to the National Fire Protection Association Document 211, “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.” It is strongly advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace infrequently, it could suffer from other issues such as broken dampers or air shutters that could still cause problems when used. The freeze-thaw cycle of Vail, Colorado takes a heavy toll on brick fireplaces and chimneys, and Midtown Chimney Sweeps can identify and correct these issues for you. 

How Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Vail, Colorado Cleans Chimneys

Our Tools Are Among the Best In the Trade

One tool we use is our HEPA centrifugal gravity dust extractor triple-filtration vacuum. It is a unique German made machine that removes soot and ash in a single pass, while leaving the air particulate-free and not making much noise. It’s safe to use on hard surfaces, as well as carpet, and is unmatched in the industry. We are proud of it!

Types of Inspections

There are three level of inspection recognized nationally, and two levels of inspections that we offer regularly. Level I satisfies most annual inspections and is a thorough visual inspection of the chimney, or stove, and adjoining connector pipe; Level II combines the visual inspection with a live video scan of the inside of the chimney in order to inspect for damage and build up. Level II is required by the NFPA 211 for new homeowners, realtors, and property managers when ownership of a residence changes. When you sell a home, it’s time to make sure that the chimney and fireplace therein is fully safe and functional.

Vail Dryer Vent Maintenance

Why is dryer vent cleaning important?

Lint, pet hair, and other fibers can accumulate in your clothes and be deposited into your dryer and its vent over time. If too much builds up, the lint combined with the high-heat electricity can start a fire.

How often should the dryer vent be cleaned?

Due to the fact that tiny holes may develop in the flexible connector behind the dryer, every dryer hook up and the area surrounding it should be visually scanned for damage every 6 months.  You can lean over the dryer and shine a light down there and look. But you cannot see the tiny holes in the flex connector unless you take it outside to the daylight. A good connector pipe will prevent dust or monoxide from entering the residence. Additionally, plastic flexile connectors are not up to code and need to be replaced by semi-rigid aluminum connectors. Lastly, once a year the vent should be cleaned.

Josh did a great job of cleaning out my plugged dryer vent and now the dryer is working so much better. He took the time to make sure the whole run was all cleaned and put a screen on the outside so the birds couldn't make more nests in it. When he was going to be late for the appointment, he called me and let me know so I wasn't just waiting around. The price that was quoted prior to the appointment was what he charged, no surprises. I would highly recommend Midtown Chimney Sweeps and Josh.
Response from the owner: Thank you Virginia! We want our customer to feel confident in the prices they are quoted. Josh is certainly appreciative of you taking the time to let us know that he is doing a great job. Thanks again!- The Midtown Team
I contacted Midtown Chimney Sweeps when my dryer was clogged and acting up. The lead time was a bit long, but I was impressed with the efficiency of booking everything as well as the service and the price. We had Josh as our service tech and he was a very nice and professional guy who did a great job, and I would highly recommend him!
Response from the owner: Alex! Thank you for taking the time to share your Midtown experience! We are happy to hear we were able to take care of you! We will let Josh know you thought he did a great job, and we look forward to working with you again!

Byron, Josh, and Vincent were very professional and timely. They installed two wood burning inserts into our new home. They were very clean, tidy, and professional. Not only did they do a beautiful job, but they also educated us along the entire way on how to safely operate the units. I highly recommend them for anything you would need to heat you're home safely.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Kristin! We hope you and Bentley are enjoying the fire and staying warm with your new inserts! All the Best!- The Midtown Team
