Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a chimney be swept in Ottawa?
Most chimney professionals recommend an annual sweep for regularly used wood-burning fireplaces or stoves, to clear creosote buildup that can otherwise become a fire hazard.
How much does chimney sweeping cost in Ottawa?
Cost is generally modest relative to the fire-safety risk of skipping it. Ask whether an inspection is included, since sweeping and inspecting together gives you the fullest picture of your chimney's condition.
What's the difference between chimney sweeping and chimney inspection?
Sweeping physically removes soot and creosote buildup; inspection checks the structural and safety condition of the flue and chimney. Many companies offer both together, which is worth doing annually if you use your fireplace regularly.
How do I find a reliable chimney sweep in Ottawa?
Look for WETT-certified sweeps (the standard certification for wood-burning systems in Canada), check recent reviews, and ask for a written report after the service.
