Find an honest chimney guy and stick with him, most of the time it has nothing to do with the company they work for , it's the indvidual that visits your home you have to hope does a good job. I can't even count the amount of times my customers have told me , the other chimney guy didn't do this or that , or was here this long . 10 minutes to do a fireplace cleaning ?? I think not , but that is your $39.95 special. why would you pay for something you wouldn't take for free ?

does not produce any actual carbon , unless it is running poorly , thermal expansion and contraction crack the ceramic liner sections and also shit these tiles and wear the mortar joints between the flues , someone who reads "a gas chimney never needs cleaning" would never have that chimney looked at and that could be extremely dangerous. Also , I have seen gas chimneys with no linings at all mosly over 100 years old and those chimneys are pretty much desrtoyed on the inside due to time

When the chimney interior rotts naturally the draft will not pull these pieces up , so they will fall and over time accumulate at the base of the chimney where the smokepipes enter , often times becoming blocked off completely because everyone keeps saying these chimneys never need cleaning , that is very dangerous to say because a lot of your readers belive what you say and take it as gospel . I especially love when people suggest a gas chimney never needs to be cleaned , while it is true gas
