Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from Northern California homeowners
How often should chimneys be cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection and cleaning as needed—typically yearly for regular wood-burning use.
What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a tar-like substance that builds up from wood smoke. It's highly flammable and causes chimney fires. Regular cleaning removes this hazard.
Do gas fireplaces need chimney cleaning?
Gas fireplaces produce less residue but still need annual inspection. Bird nests, debris, and component issues can create hazards. We recommend annual inspection for all chimneys.
