Q: What holds a chimney liner in place?

• <div><p>A chimney liner is held in place by a top plate and attached top clamp, both of which should be included in most chimney liner kits. The top plate seals to the top of the chimney flue and attaches directly to the liner. This not only holds the liner in place but supports its weight in the chimney.</p></div>

Q: Do gas fireplaces generate ash?

• <div><p>No, because they burn propane or natural gas, gas fireplaces do not generate ash like wood-burning fireplaces. However, gas fireplaces <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-gas-fireplace.htm">require maintenance</a>, such as cleaning the glass doors, checking for debris in the burner or vents, and ensuring the logs or glass stones are in place. This maintenance ensures that the fireplace continues to operate efficiently and safely.</p></div>

Q: What is the best wood for a fireplace?

• <div><p>The best wood for a fireplace includes hardwoods, such as ash, birch, cherry, maple, and oak. These woods ignite quickly and put out the most heat. They also produce less smoke than other types of wood. Softwoods, such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, are poor choices for burning in a fireplace because they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes it challenging to light.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best time of year to clean a chimney?

• <div><p>The best time to clean your chimney is before you actually need to use it. For most of us, that means getting your chimney cleaned in the spring, summer, or early fall. You may find that chimney sweeps are booked up when the winter months fade and the first round of customers begin to hire them for cleanings, but you also don&rsquo;t want to wait until too late in the fall when chimney sweeps might be responding to other customers who waited until the last minute. Thus, the safest bet may be the summer. </p></div>

Q: How do I stop my fireplace backdraft?

• <div><p>Backdraft is usually caused by a ventilation or pressure problem. To stop it, you need to replace the air your fireplace draws out through the chimney, so open a window to try and increase the airflow. Sometimes turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan can help, but they could also be the cause of the backdraft depending on the air pressure inside your home. You may need to install a makeup air system (MUAS) or chimney fan.</p></div>

Dennis is an absolute pro! He remodeled my terribly boring fireplace and turned it into an absolute piece of art! I highly recommend him. Excellent communication, detailed work, honest, and just an all around great guy.

This company serviced my fireplace last year and did a great job, HOWEVER - when scheduling service this year they canceled the morning of the appointment and will not return my calls to reschedule. You will only get a voicemail recording when you call and no response via voice or web.

Cornerstone Services (chimney cleaning and window cleaning) (903) 570-5268, owner/operator Randy Epps. I started this business in 1982, inspired by a magazine ad, “Be your own boss in the world’s most honorable profession…Become a chimney sweep!” In 1987, I added a window cleaning service. Over the years, I have cleaned thousands of windows, thousands of chimneys. I love meeting people, I love the work I do. "He that has the Son, has life."
