EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps ( https://www.mplsblueskychimneysweeps.com/), in Eden Prairie, is explaining to homeowners why they should get their chimney cleaned and inspected prior to using it in fall.

Getting your chimney cleaned before you use it in the fall and winter months is important because there are certain things that could go wrong while it was not in use during the summer months.

Common Chimney Problems in Summer:

Unpleasant odors can come from your chimney and could be due to moisture mixed with the creosote in the chimney flue. The smell can become more noticeable if heat and humidity become high.

Bad odors can also be a sign of an animal trapped in your chimney; it could be animal droppings or a dead animal that couldn’t escape the chimney.

You could get an insect infestation in your chimney, such as bees or ants.

Your chimney could get blocked by a bird’s nest, debris such as leaves, or excess creosote. The most common reason for a fireplace-related house fire is due to a blockage in the chimney.
