Amrak Chimney Sweeping Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We recommend having your chimney swept at least once a year, especially if you use your fireplace or stove regularly. Annual inspections and cleanings help prevent creosote buildup, which can lead to chimney fires.
Creosote is a flammable byproduct of burning wood. Over time, it accumulates inside your chimney and can ignite, causing a dangerous chimney fire. Regular sweeping removes creosote and keeps your chimney safe and efficient.
