Get matched with top fireplace pros in Nappanee, IN

Q: Can I inspect my own chimney?

• <div><p>Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.</p></div>

Q: Do unused chimneys need to be vented?

• <div><p>Even if you aren&rsquo;t using a home chimney anymore, you need to vent it at the top and bottom to allow for continuous airflow. A blocked-up chimney is still a chimney, so it requires annual maintenance and a professional inspection to ensure its structural integrity is intact. Consult a chimney professional about the ideal timing for venting an unused chimney.</p></div>

Q: Do chimney cleaning bricks work?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-creosote-sweeping-logs-really-work.htm">chimney cleaning brick or log</a> can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.</p></div>

Q: Should you block both the top and bottom of your chimney?

• <div><p>You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.</p></div>

Q: Will a pellet stove heat an entire house?

• <div><p>Yes, a pellet stove can heat an entire house&mdash;as long as you choose one that&rsquo;s large enough for that purpose. For context, pellet stoves generate between 8,000 and 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), and you&rsquo;ll need 30 to 60 BTUs per square foot, depending on your climate zone. If you&rsquo;re unsure which size pellet stove to buy, reach out to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/wood-stove-repair/">local pellet or wood stove repair company</a>.</p></div>

Very positive experience. We moved into an old house whose vents had probably not been cleaned in decades, if ever. The improvement in smell was immediate. The "before" picture showed tremendous buildup, and the "after" picture showed clean vents. Terrific job!

They are great! Unfortunately my chimney had been through a fire with previous owners before sitting vacant for four years. But we talked through ALL my options, specifically focusing on what I want from my fireplace. I truly appreciate that and look forward to working with them in the future!!
