A chimney should be swept at least once a year to remove the accumulation of soot, creosote, and debris. Regular chimney sweeping helps prevent chimney fires, improves ventilation, and ensures the safe operation of your fireplace or heating appliance. Dr Sweep offers professional chimney sweeping services to keep your chimney clean and in optimal condition.
Before a chimney sweep visit, it is advisable to remove any valuables or fragile items near the fireplace to protect them from dust. Additionally, ensure that the fireplace is not in use and the area is clear of any obstructions. Dr Sweep’s team will handle the rest, ensuring a thorough and efficient chimney sweep process.
Signs of a cracked flue may include visible cracks, gaps, or separations in the flue liner, water leakage, or the presence of excess smoke or soot inside the house. However, detecting flue cracks can be challenging without professional inspection equipment. It is always best to call a chimney professional, such as Dr Sweep, to conduct a thorough inspection and provide accurate assessments.

If you notice cracks in your chimney, it is crucial to have them repaired promptly by a professional chimney repair service like Dr Sweep to ensure the safety of your home and prevent fire risks.
Bad or deteriorating mortar may exhibit signs such as crumbling, cracking, or missing sections between bricks or stones. You may also notice loose or dislodged bricks.

Brick masonry specifically refers to the construction method using bricks as the primary material. Dr Sweep specializes in masonry repairs, including brick masonry, ensuring the durability and aesthetics of your chimney and other masonry elements.
