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
