We have a lot of customers every year who have forgotten how to use their logburner properly and sadly, get into bad habits. When we arrive to sweep the chimney, it's often an expensive repair is needed because the fire has been overburning or slumbering.
A chimney fire can exceed **1,000°C** and spread through a home in minutes. Regular sweeping, proper fuel, and routine inspections are the best ways to keep your chimney safe and prevent costly damage.
A damaged chimney liner can crack, leak, or collapse over time due to heat, acid corrosion, condensation, and age. Damaged liners can allow smoke, heat, and dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide to enter the home.
