Frequently asked questions

WHY DOES CERTIFICATION MATTER?

Certification means your technician is trained in codes, fire safety, structural repairs, and best practices. As North Alabama’s only certified chimney solutions company, ECS ensures work is done right—and safely.
Because your family deserves protection from experts you can trust.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY CHIMNEY BE INSPECTED?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends a professional chimney inspection every year, but you should schedule one sooner if:

• You’ve purchased a new home (even if the previous owner “never used the fireplace”).

• You have a fireplace that hasn’t been used in a long time.

• You notice smoke issues, odors, or visible soot buildup.

Even an unused or rarely used chimney can hide structural issues, blockages, or dangerous creosote.
Let us help ensure your first fire—and every fire—is a safe one.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF HOUSE FIRES?

1. Neglected chimneys — Creosote buildup is extremely flammable and ignites thousands of chimney fires every year.
2. Ill-maintained dryer vents — Lint can combust quickly, making dryer vent cleanings just as essential for home safety.

Empire Chimney Solutions specializes in preventing both of these risks through certified inspections and cleanings.
Because protecting your home starts at the hearth.

DO GAS FIREPLACES NEED INSPECTIONS EVEN IF THEY BURN CLEAN?

Yes. Gas units can still develop venting issues, carbon monoxide leaks, and system malfunctions. A yearly inspection ensures everything operates safely and efficiently.
Let us bring peace of mind back to your hearth.

MONEY IS TIGHT, WHY SHOULD I INVEST IN CHIMNEY OR DRYER VENT MAINTINENCE?

Routine maintenance may seem like an extra expense, but it prevents far costlier problems down the road. Regular chimney and dryer vent cleanings:

• Reduce the risk of house fires, protecting your home and family

• Improve energy efficiency, lowering heating and cooling costs

• Prevent major repairs like relining, masonry work, or structural damage

• Extend the life of your fireplace and dryer

A small investment today saves money, stress, and potential disaster tomorrow.
Let us help you protect your home and the people you can't afford to lose.
