Before & After Breathe Better Inc.
Air Ducts
Cleaning your air ducts improves indoor air quality, enhances HVAC efficiency, and reduces allergens. Regular cleaning prevents dust and mold buildup, promoting a healthier home and potentially lowering energy bills.​
Dryer Vents
Cleaning your dryer vent is crucial for preventing fire hazards, improving dryer efficiency, and reducing energy costs. Regular cleaning removes lint buildup, enhancing airflow, and ensuring your dryer operates safely and effectively.
Chimneys
Regular chimney cleaning and maintenance helps prevent dangerous creosote buildup that can spark fires. It also keeps your fireplace or wood stove running efficiently, reduces the chance of smoke entering your home, and supports cleaner, healthier air for your family.
Signs it's time for Chimney Cleaning
1
Visible Signs
-
Black soot buildup around the fireplace opening or on the damper
-
Dark, oily stains on the chimney exterior walls (creosote seeping through)
-
Excessive smoke entering your home when you use the fireplace
2
Performance Issues
-
Poor draft - smoke doesn't go up the chimney properly
-
Difficulty starting or maintaining fires
-
Strong odors from the fireplace, especially in summer humidity (smells like asphalt or campfire)
3
Safety Concerns
-
Creosote buildup of 1/8 inch or more (creosote is highly flammable and causes chimney fires)
-
Animals or debris blocking the flue - you might hear scratching or chirping
-
Fallen chunks of material in the firebox
The National Fire Protection Association recommends having chimneys inspected at least once a year, even if you don't think cleaning is needed. A professional sweep can spot issues you might miss, like cracks in the flue liner or structural damage. If you notice any of these signs, it's best to schedule a cleaning before using your fireplace again.
