However, if you notice a lot of soot or a smoky smell, it's time for service sooner. The pros can advise you on the best schedule for your usage and San Diego's climate.

Can I clean my chimney myself in San Diego?

What's the difference between a chimney sweep and an inspection?

A chimney sweep focuses on removing flammable creosote and soot from the flue. An inspection, often done alongside a sweep, checks the chimney's structure for damage. This includes the liner, masonry, and cap. Both are crucial for safety. The pros who come out will perform both as needed for your San Diego chimney.
