Why it matters
Chimneys, stoves and vents do their jobs quietly. Most problems build up slowly, out of sight, and they're simple to catch with regular care.
Burning wood leaves creosote, a flammable tar-like residue, on the inside of the flue. Cleaning removes it before it builds into a hazard.
Cracked liners, worn mortar and blockages can let heat reach combustible parts of the house. Inspections catch them while they're still easy to fix.
Fuel-burning appliances make carbon monoxide, an odorless gas. A blocked chimney or vent can push it back indoors, so keep venting clear and CO alarms working.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, failure to clean is the leading factor in home clothes dryer fires.
The National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 211 calls for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to be inspected once a year and cleaned as needed.
