General Info

**Have your chimney cleaned and inspected regularly.** The buildup of creosote in your fireplace is unavoidable. A natural byproduct of the wood-burning process, creosote forms a black and powdery coating on the inside of your chimney. Creosote is a potential fire hazard; it's the primary fuel in most chimney fires. So, have your chimney inspected once a year. If it's dirty, get it cleaned **Check the outside of your chimney.** If it needs repair, get it done before there's further deterioration and more expensive repairs. **Install a chimney cap.** Caps prevent water damage and keep animals out of the flue. **Check the draft before lighting a fire.** Make sure the damper is open. Warm the flue by holding a lit, rolled-up newspaper up near the damper. Also, don't start your fire while an exhaust fan is funning. It can create a downdraft, filling the room with smoke.
