Why You Should Get Your Chimney Swept

A clean chimney or flue is safer and more efficient. Soot buildup can hinder airflow and chimney draw. Woods like Redgum contain “CREOSOTE,” a highly flammable substance. Denser woods generally emit more creosote. A chimney cleaned by Melbourne Chimney Sweeping is a safer chimney! It’s also wise to have your chimney swept during renovations. New regulations require chimneys to be cleaned before installing gas fires or heaters in existing fireplace cavities.

How Often Should Your Chimney Be Swept?

The frequency of chimney sweeping depends on how often you use your fireplace or wood heater. We recommend an annual sweep. Contact Melbourne Chimney Sweeping via email or phone to schedule your next chimney sweep. Renovating?
