Use qualified service
A professional can assess deposits, damage, liners, clearances and venting condition.
Do not rely on cleaning gadgets alone
A brush or chemical product cannot confirm that a chimney system is safe.
Keep service records
Dates, findings and repairs can help track the system over time.
Follow appliance and local requirements
Wood-burning appliances and chimneys are subject to product, building and fire-safety requirements that vary by location.
General consumer information only. Do not mix cleaning chemicals or improvise electrical, chimney, high-access, pressurized, drain or other safety-critical work. Follow Canadian product labels, recall notices and the exact manufacturer’s instructions.
