When should I book chimney maintenance?
Late summer and early fall are a sensible window — before you need the fireplace, so any concern found has time to be addressed.
We barely used the fireplace last year. Do we still need anything?
Light use means less buildup, but an unused flue can still collect debris or nests, and weather keeps working on the exterior. An inspection is still worthwhile.
The fire was hard to start and smoked a little last winter.
Poor draft can come from a partly closed damper, a blockage, or buildup in the flue. If smoke enters the room, stop using the fireplace until it has been checked; cleaning is not automatically the remedy. Describe the smoke and draft concerns when arranging an inspection.
How do I know if the cap is still doing its job?
From the ground, look for a cap that is missing, tilted, or visibly rusted. Debris or water in the firebox is another hint.
Sweeping vs. Inspection: Which Do You Need?
These two services are often confused. Sweeping is cleaning: it removes the deposits that burning leaves behind. Inspection is assessment: it looks at the visible condition of accessible parts of the chimney and fireplace.
A chimney can be clean but damaged, or sound but dirty. That's why annual inspections are commonly recommended while cleaning is done as needed. If you're unsure which you need, describe your fireplace use and any symptoms and we'll help you decide.

Where is Chimney Clean Man located?
At 19 Crawfords Corner Rd, Holmdel, NJ 07733. There is no Marlboro office; service is performed at your home.
How often does a chimney need sweeping?
It depends on use. A fireplace used often builds up deposits faster than one lit a few times a year. Cleaning is done as needed, and an inspection helps determine when.
Is a yearly inspection necessary if the fireplace looks fine?
Annual inspections are commonly recommended because many concerns — inside the flue or on top of the chimney — aren't visible from the room.
Can you repair damage you find?
Chimney repair is offered, and the available work is confirmed for each situation. Specialized procedures such as masonry rebuilding, crown reconstruction, flashing replacement, or liner replacement are not assumed to be included — describe the problem and we will confirm the available work.
