Fireplace & Chimney Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Get My Chimney Swept?

According to The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.”

My Fireplace Smells Bad, Especially In The Summer. What Can I Do To Get Rid Of The Smell?

The smell is because of creosote deposits within the chimney, a natural byproduct of woodburning. The odor is sometimes worse during the summer when the humidity is high the air conditioning is turned on. A typical sweeping will help but usually won’t solve the smell completely. There are commercial chimney deodorants that work well, and plenty of people have good results with kitty litter or maybe baking soda set inside the fireplace. The real problem is that the air being drawn down the chimney, an indication of overall pressure problems within the house. Some make-up air should be introduced someplace else in the house. A good sealing and a top-mounted damper will reduce this air flow coming down the chimney.

I Have A Gas Fireplace. Should This Chimney Be Checked Too?

Without a doubt! Although gas is usually a clean-burning fuel, the chimney can become non-functional from bird nests or other debris blocking the flue. Modern furnaces may also cause many problems with the typical flues intended to vent the older generation of furnaces. Sootmaster is not licensed to operate on any gas fireplace; Contact a gas certified plumber or gas licensed fireplace company for your needs.

When Should I Get My Fireplace Inspected?

To ensure the safety and functionality of your fireplace, it is generally recommended to have it inspected on an annual basis. A professional chimney sweep or a qualified fireplace inspector should conduct the inspection. They will thoroughly assess your fireplace, chimney, and related components to ensure they are in good working condition and comply with safety standards.

What's Safe To Burn In The Fireplace?

You should only burn well-seasoned wood.
