At least once per year or after burning approximately one cord of seasoned wood. If you use your appliance daily, burn softwood, or notice heavy soot, you may need sweeping mid-season. Canadian insurers commonly require annual documentation to maintain coverage.

Level 2 includes a video scan of the flue and is recommended after any change to the system, a chimney fire, or during real estate transactions.

A standard wood-burning sweep and Level 1 inspection typically take 60–90 minutes. Adding a Level 2 video scan may extend the visit by 30–45 minutes. Complex installations or difficult roof access can increase the total time.
Pricing varies by province and appliance type. Typical ranges: $189–$289 CAD for a standard sweep and Level 1, $129–$199 CAD for a Level 2 add-on, and $149–$249 CAD for dryer vent cleaning when bundled. Final quotes consider height, condition, and accessibility.
