How often should I have my chimney cleaned in Flanders?

Most Flanders homeowners need annual chimney cleaning, especially if you use your fireplace regularly during heating season. The frequency depends on how much you burn and what type of wood you use.If you burn more than a cord of wood per year, or if you notice creosote buildup reaching 1/8 inch thickness, it’s time for professional cleaning. Pine and other soft woods create creosote faster than hardwoods, so they may require more frequent cleaning.The key is having your system inspected annually so we can determine the right cleaning schedule for your specific usage patterns and chimney condition.

What makes creosote buildup so dangerous in my chimney?

Creosote is a highly flammable, tar-like substance that forms when wood burns incompletely. It sticks to your chimney walls and can ignite from hot embers, causing dangerous chimney fires that can spread to your roof and home.Even small amounts of creosote can create fire hazards. When it builds up to 1/8 inch or more, the risk increases significantly. Glazed creosote, which looks shiny and hard, is particularly dangerous because it burns extremely hot and is difficult to remove without professional equipment.Beyond fire risk, creosote buildup can block proper ventilation, causing smoke and carbon monoxide to back up into your living space instead of venting safely outside.

How do I know if my chimney is blocked or damaged?

Common signs include smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, white staining on the outside of your chimney, and animals or birds that you can hear in the flue. You might also notice rust on your damper or firebox, or water leaks during heavy rains.Strong odors coming from your fireplace, especially during humid weather, often indicate creosote buildup or moisture problems. If your fires burn poorly or produce excessive smoke, that’s usually a ventilation issue caused by blockages or damaged components.Any of these symptoms warrant professional inspection. What seems like a minor issue can quickly become a safety hazard or expensive repair if left unaddressed.

Can I clean my own chimney to save money?

Chimney cleaning requires specialized brushes, vacuum equipment, and safety gear that most homeowners don’t have. More importantly, it requires knowledge of what to look for during the cleaning process—damaged liners, structural issues, or ventilation problems that aren’t obvious to untrained eyes.Professional cleaning also includes inspection of components you can’t safely access from your roof. We check the interior condition of your flue, examine the smoke chamber, and test damper operation—all critical safety elements that DIY cleaning can’t address.The cost of professional cleaning is small compared to the potential cost of fire damage or emergency repairs from missed problems. Plus, our insurance covers any issues that arise during the work.

What's the difference between chimney cleaning and chimney inspection?

Chimney cleaning focuses on removing creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney system. It’s the physical maintenance that keeps your chimney functioning safely and efficiently.Chimney inspection is the diagnostic process where we examine all components of your system—flue liner, chimney cap, damper, masonry, and structural elements—to identify potential problems or safety concerns.Most professional cleaning services include a basic Level 1 inspection, which covers accessible areas and identifies obvious issues. If we find problems or you’re buying a home, you might need a more comprehensive Level 2 inspection that includes camera work inside the flue to see areas that aren’t otherwise visible.
