What are the signs of a dirty chimney?

Signs of a dirty chimney include visible soot and creosote buildup inside the flue, which looks like black, flaky tar. You might also notice a smoky smell when the fireplace isn't in use, or smoke backing up into your home. Reduced draft is another indicator. If you see these signs in your Fresno home, it's time to schedule a cleaning. A professional inspection will confirm the level of buildup.

The goal is a safe, clean, and efficient system.

When should I get an emergency chimney sweep?

You should seek an emergency chimney sweep if you notice signs of a chimney fire, such as flames or glowing embers in the flue, or a strong burning smell.
