Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have heavy creosote?
A shiny black glaze on the flue, a strong campfire smell in warm weather, or reduced draft all indicate buildup. Glazed creosote needs specialist treatment, not just brushing.
Do gas fireplaces need cleaning?
They need annual inspection. Gas produces little creosote but liners corrode, and blockages and animal nests still occur.
