Flue season is here - and it’s nothing to sneeze at. 🤧

Cooler weather means fireplaces and wood stoves are starting to see more use. Before you light up for the season, make sure your chimney is inspected, cleaned and ready to vent properly.

FAQ Friday: What should I not burn in my fireplace or wood stove? 🗑

Your fireplace is not a trash can. Avoid burning household trash, cardboard, plastics, foam, painted or pressure-treated wood, plywood, particle board and wet or moldy wood.

These materials can release harmful chemicals, create excess smoke and contribute to buildup inside your chimney.

For a cleaner, safer burn, stick to dry, seasoned firewood. And make sure your chimney is inspected and cleaned as needed. Call 574-271-1677 to schedule!

FAQ Friday: What is the hole at the bottom of my fireplace — and where does it go? 🕳️

For some masonry and modular fireplaces, that hole leads to an ash pit. It’s a traditional way to store ashes instead of scooping them directly out of the fireplace.

The ash pit typically leads to a square cleanout door at the bottom of the fireplace — either outside your home or in the basement.

Every chimney tells a different story — and every job starts by getting a closer look. 👀

From the ground, it can be hard to see the condition of your chimney top, cap or flue. That’s why a thorough inspection matters. We take the time to evaluate the parts of your chimney system that are out of sight, helping homeowners stay ahead of problems before fireplace season.

Call 574-271-1677 to schedule your chimney inspection or cleaning.

FAQ Friday: What is creosote? 🔥

Creosote is a dark, sticky residue that can build up inside a chimney when wood is burned. As smoke rises and cools, that residue can stick to the chimney walls — and over time, too much buildup can become a fire hazard.

Stage 1: Flaky, dry soot-like deposits; easiest to remove
Stage 2: Sticky, tar-like or crusty deposits; harder to remove
Stage 3: Hard, shiny, glazed deposits; extremely difficult to remove and highly combustible

Regular chimney cleanings help remove creosote and keep your fireplace ready.

Before and after: a new stainless steel chase cover, finished with a properly fitted chimney cap.

The chase cover is the metal component that protects the top of a prefabricated chimney chase from water intrusion. When it begins to rust, crack or deteriorate, water can get into the structure and create larger problems over time.

This installation gives the chimney a durable new layer of protection, while the cap helps keep rain, debris and animals out of the flue.

If your existing cap is missing, damaged or deteriorating, call 574-271-1677 to schedule an evaluation.
