Chimney cleaning and maintanence is essential in keeping your home and safe. Burning wood in a fireplace or stove leaves behind a flammable substance known as creosote (more commonly dubbed “soot”). If it’s not cleared away regularly, a chimney fire might happen. Avoid taking the risk! Regular cleaning of your chimney clears away the creosote (a potentially flammable substance), thereby lessening your risk of a chimney fire.

Chimney & Fireplace Repairs

Level I inspections are adequate for most annual inspections. They involve a thorough visual inspection of the chimney or stove and the adjoining connector pipe. Level II inspections combine Level I with a live video scan of the interior of the chimney to look for build up, debris, and any damage. Level II is required by the NFPA 211 for realtors, property managers (when the ownership of the residence changes) and new homeowners.

Seattle Dryer Vent Maintenance

All kinds of debris (such as lint and pet hair) accumulate in the vent of your dryer after every use. This buildup of lint, combined with the high heat of electric elements, can start a fire if it’s not cleared away regularly.

How often should the dryer vent be cleaned?

The ventilation system for your clothes dryer should be cleaned once a year. The hook ups between the dryer and the vent, plus all the surrounding areas, should be inspected every 6 months to be sure there’s no damage. Dust or carbon monoxide can enter the flexible connector behind your dryer if it develops tiny holes. Midtown will ensure your connectors are in good shape and up to code with semi-rigid (or similar UL-listed) connectors.

You bet! Before honoring their warranties, most manufacturers require consumers to follow the regulations set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). For stoves that burn cord wood and bio-fuel pellets, the recommendation is an annual sweep. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when the soot level reaches 1/8” thick on the inside walls of the chimney.

The NFPA’s Document 211 reads, “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’s advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace so often, you ought to arrange an inspection to verify that your chimney and fireplace lack issues such as loose dampers, leaves or nesting debris blocking the flue, or broken air shutters.

You ought to have a professional clean out your dryer’s ventilation once a year. The vent and its surrounding area ought to be inspected every 6 months to be sure there’s no damage.
