Chimneys and fireplaces that are regularly used should generally be inspected annually. An inspection can identify creosote buildup, blockages, liner deterioration, masonry damage, water intrusion, damaged components, and other conditions that may need attention before continued fireplace use.

Signs can include visible soot or creosote, strong smoky odors, debris falling into the firebox, reduced fireplace performance, or significant use since the last professional cleaning. Because much of the flue cannot be seen from the fireplace opening, an inspection is the best way to determine whether cleaning is actually needed.

Yes. Chimneys are constantly exposed to rain, wind, storms, temperature changes, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, moisture can contribute to deteriorated mortar joints, cracked crowns, damaged brick, flashing problems, and other masonry concerns. Regular inspections can help catch weather-related deterioration before it becomes more extensive.

Your chimney cap should be inspected if it is missing, loose, rusted, bent, damaged by a storm, or no longer securely covering the flue. Water, leaves, nesting materials, or animal activity inside the chimney can also indicate a missing or damaged cap. The chimney should be properly measured so the replacement cap matches the system.

Possible warning signs include pieces of clay or masonry in the fireplace, visible liner deterioration, venting problems, or damage discovered during a chimney inspection. Because most of the liner is hidden inside the chimney, a professional inspection and camera evaluation can help determine its actual condition and whether repair or relining is appropriate.

Yes. Turn of the Century Chimney provides gas fireplace installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair in Bel Aire. Service can include evaluating burners, pilot and ignition components, gas connections, logs, venting, controls, and other components of the fireplace system.

Yes. Camera inspections provide a closer look at areas inside the chimney or vent system that cannot be adequately evaluated from the fireplace opening. Video inspection can help identify hidden cracks, blockages, buildup, liner deterioration, gaps, and other conditions that may require cleaning or repair.

Yes. Turn of the Century Chimney provides dryer vent cleaning and related dryer vent services throughout Bel Aire. Services can include vent cleaning, camera inspections, debris and clog removal, lint screen and trap cleaning, dryer de-linting, and dryer vent installation to address lint buildup and restricted airflow.

Longer drying times can have several causes, but restricted dryer vent airflow is one possibility. Lint and debris can accumulate inside the vent and make it harder for hot, moist air to leave the dryer. If your dryer is taking multiple cycles, running unusually hot, or has weak airflow at the exterior vent, the vent system should be inspected.
