MAINTENANCE OF THE CHIMNEY
Whether you have a prefab or masonry chimney, you must conduct a visual inspection at least once a
month in order to be sure that it is in good shape and that there is no excessive creosote build-up. If there is
the slightest crack, or undulation of the interior or exterior surface of the chimney, repairs or replacements of
defective parts must be carried out without delay.
You should do at least one chimney sweeping per year, or more if your visual inspection reveals creosote
deposits exceeding 1\4" (6 mm). It is important to remove all creosote which has been detached with
the sweeping brush, in order to prevent if from igniting when you start your next fire.
