Chimney Questions We Hear Every Week

How Often Should a Chimney Be Swept?

Sweep the chimney whenever the yearly inspection finds soot or creosote building up, which is how NFPA 211 frames it. For a wood fireplace used regularly through the winter, that usually means once a year. Wood stoves and oil boiler flues often need it yearly or more. A fireplace lit a few times a season may go longer between sweeps, but not between inspections. Read the full guide

Why Does My Chimney Leak When It Rains?

Most chimney leaks come from one of four places: the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, a cracked crown on top, an open flue with no cap, or brick and mortar that soak up rain. Where the stain shows up is a clue, but the water often travels before it appears, so the source has to be traced on the roof. Read the full guide

Do I Need a Chimney Liner?

Any chimney that vents a fireplace, wood stove, boiler, furnace or water heater needs a liner in good condition and sized for what it serves. The liner holds heat and exhaust inside the flue, shields the brick and nearby framing, and sets the flue size the draft depends on. A chimney that serves nothing does not need one, though it still needs a cap or a sealed top. Read the full guide

Does My Chimney Need a Cap?

Almost every working flue benefits from a cap. Without one, rain falls straight onto the damper and down the tile, birds and squirrels can move in, leaves pile up on the smoke shelf, and sparks from a wood fire have nothing to stop them. A cap is a small part on the roof that protects much more costly parts below it. Read the full guide

Do You Need a Chimney Inspection When Buying a House?

Buying a house with a chimney is a strong reason to book a chimney inspection of its own. A general home inspector typically looks at the chimney from outside and the firebox from the room, but not inside the flue. Cracked liners, a failing crown or a worn-out boiler flue are found by a chimney inspection, ideally before you close. Read the full guide

How to Tell If Your Chimney Needs Cleaning

Black flakes falling into the firebox, a strong sour campfire smell, fires that start slowly or smoke into the room and dark staining above the opening are the usual signs. With the fireplace cold, a scratch test on the flue wall above the damper tells you more: a thick sooty layer, or a shiny tar-like glaze, means clean it before the next fire. Read the full guide

Why Is My Fireplace Smoke Coming Into the House?

Smoke rolls into the room when the chimney cannot carry it away as fast as the fire makes it. A damper not fully open, a cold flue at startup, a house short on air, wet wood, a blocked flue or cap, wind pressing down the chimney, or an opening too large for its flue are the usual causes. When the smoke appears is the most useful clue to which one. Read the full guide

What Should You Do About a Cracked Chimney Crown?

Deal with a cracked crown before the next winter. Hairline cracks in a crown that is still solid can be cleaned and coated with a flexible crown sealant. A crown that is broken through, loose or crumbling has to come off and be replaced, ideally with one that slopes, overhangs the brick with a drip edge and leaves a flexible joint around the flue tile. Read the full guide

Does a Gas Fireplace Need a Chimney Sweep?

A gas fireplace still needs a chimney sweep, though usually for an inspection more than a heavy cleaning. Gas makes little soot and no creosote, but the flue can still be blocked by nests, leaves or fallen tile, and gas exhaust is wet enough to wear down old masonry. Under NFPA 211, chimneys and vents, gas included, are due for inspection every year. Read the full guide

Do You Need a New Liner After an Oil to Gas Conversion?

Often you do. Gas exhaust is cooler and wetter than oil exhaust, and an old masonry flue sized for an oil burner is usually too big for a new gas boiler. The result is condensation that mixes with leftover oil scale and attacks tile and mortar. Whether you need a liner depends on the new appliance and its venting instructions. Read the full guide
