frequently asked questions
What are the signs my chimney needs cleaning?

- Visible buildup of soot or creosote
- Difficulty lighting a fire
- A dark or sooty fireplace interior
How often should I have my chimney inspected?
It’s recommended to have your chimney inspected at least once a year. Regular inspections help prevent dangerous blockages and ensure the chimney is operating efficiently. If you use your chimney frequently or burn wood that leaves more residue (like softwoods), more frequent inspections might be necessary.
How can I tell if my chimney needs repairs?
- Cracks in the chimney’s structure
- Water leaks inside your home near the chimney
- Deteriorating mortar joints between bricks
- A rusted or damaged chimney cap
Do I need a chimney cap?
Yes! A chimney cap serves as a protective barrier against debris, animals, and rain. It also helps keep your chimney functioning efficiently. Installing a chimney cap can help prevent costly repairs down the line.
What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a highly flammable substance that forms when wood burns. It accumulates inside your chimney and poses a fire hazard. If left uncleaned, it can lead to a dangerous chimney fire. Regular cleaning removes creosote buildup and reduces this risk.
