Not sure what your chimney needs?
If you haven't used the fireplace in a while, or you don't know when the chimney was last looked at, start with an inspection. An inspection shows whether a sweep alone will do or whether something like a cracked crown, worn flashing or a damaged liner needs attention first. That way you don't pay for a cleaning and then find a repair you could have handled in the same visit.
For dryer vents, warning signs include clothes that take more than one cycle to dry, a laundry room that gets unusually hot, or a burning smell while the dryer runs. If you smell burning, turn the dryer off and unplug it until the vent is checked. Any of these is a good reason to have the vent cleaned and its airflow tested.
