"I had an excellent experience with McBrien Fire & Flue and would highly recommend them to anyone needing chimney work. My chimneys were in need of quite a bit of attention, including masonry repairs, cleaning, and new chimney caps. From beginning to end, the team at McBrien Fire & Flue was professional, kind, knowledgeable, reliable, and honest. They took the time to explain what needed to be done, answered my questions clearly, and kept me informed throughout the process. I never felt pressured or unsure about the work being recommended, and it was obvious that they genuinely cared about doing the job correctly. The quality of the finished work was excellent, and it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing that the chimney has now been properly repaired, cleaned, and protected. It can be difficult to find contractors who combine excellent workmanship with honesty, reliability, and genuinely good customer service, but McBrien Fire & Flue certainly does. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"They showed up and completed the job on schedule. It rained one day and instead of leaving they waited in their trucks for hours for the rain to stop. As a business owner myself I found them to be very professional. They cleaned the area up well and the new patio and restored fireplace looks amazing!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:

  • See or smell smoke in your home during use.

  • You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.

  • The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.

  • The igniter won’t light.

  • You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.

  • Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.

  • You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.

If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.

Yes, you can use an existing chimney with a wood-burning stove if it meets specific requirements. The stove’s vent pipe size must be compatible with the size of your chimney flue. Your contractor can tell you whether your chimney is suitable for installation.

There are six main choices of fireplace inserts: wood-burning, gas, propane, pellet, electric, and coal. Coal fireplace inserts aren’t as popular as they once were because burning coal emits a lot of carbon monoxide. Any fireplace insert will require proper supervision, and it’s a good idea to install a carbon monoxide detector in the room for added safety.

The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.
