FAQ

Questions people ask first

How often should my chimney be cleaned?

Chimneys should be cleaned at least once a year, or more frequently if you use your fireplace regularly.

What is creosote and why is it dangerous?

Creosote is a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood. It can build up in chimneys and pose a fire hazard.

When is the best time for a chimney inspection?

It's best to schedule a chimney inspection before the burning season begins, ideally in late summer or early fall.

How can I tell if my chimney needs repair?

Signs such as smoke in the house, crumbling masonry, or a rusted damper indicate your chimney may need repair.

Why is chimney relining important?

Relining improves the safety and efficiency of your chimney, preventing heat and smoke damage to your home.

What is masonry repointing?

Repointing involves repairing the mortar between bricks to maintain the structural integrity of your chimney.

How does chimney waterproofing work?

Waterproofing involves applying a sealant to protect the chimney from moisture, preventing leaks and damage.
