With Justice’s cold winters and heavy seasonal fireplace use, annual chimney maintenance is essential for home safety and long-term chimney performance.

Why Chimney Cleaning Is Essential in Justice, IL

Wood-burning fireplaces create soot and creosote with every use. If not cleaned regularly, buildup can:

• Increase the risk of chimney and flue fires

• Push smoke or carbon monoxide into your home

• Damage chimney liners, masonry, and mortar joints

• Decrease fireplace draft and heating efficiency

• Lead to costly structural repairs

Routine cleaning helps protect your home and ensures proper fireplace operation.

How Often Should Justice Homeowners Schedule Chimney Cleaning?

According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA):

• Chimneys must be inspected annually

• Cleaning is required when creosote reaches 1/8 inch

Justice homeowners may need more frequent cleaning if they:

• Use their fireplace regularly during winter

• Burn softwoods or unseasoned logs

• Notice smoky odors or poor draft

• Haven’t had a sweep in more than a year

Gas fireplaces also require periodic cleaning to prevent corrosion and maintain venting safety.
