How Do I Prevent Chimney & Fireplace Problems?
Keeping your chimney and fireplace in good condition should be one of your highest priorities, and regular chimney inspections play a key role in detecting any problems before they become a bigger issue. Additionally, annual chimney sweepings should be scheduled in order to remove accumulated soot, creosote, and other debris. Hire a professional crew – like us – who can get this job done safely and effectively.
Another thing you can do is install a full-cover chimney cap, which serves as an effective barrier against animals and weather alike. Taking this preventive measure, as well as investing in other types of preventive maintenance, will help ensure that your chimney and fireplace will function properly now and for many years to come.
Here is a list of things that either you or a certified chimney technician can do to keep your chimney and dryer vent system in good working order:
- Check the chimney cap and replace it if it is damaged or missing.
- Inspect the exterior of the chimney for any signs of damage or deterioration.
- Sweep the chimney flue to remove any creosote buildup and debris.
- Check the damper for proper operation and replace it if necessary.
- Inspect the firebox for cracks or damage.
- Check the chimney liner for any damage or deterioration.
- Look for signs of water damage inside the chimney.
- Inspect the chimney flashing and replace it if it is damaged or missing.
- Check the chimney crown for any cracks or damage.
- Inspect the chimney brickwork for any loose or damaged bricks.
- Check the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are functioning properly.
- Inspect the chimney for any animal nests or debris and remove them if present.
- Verify that the chimney meets local building codes and safety standards.
- Test the draft to ensure proper airflow and ventilation.
- Check the firebricks for any cracks or damage and replace them if necessary.
- Inspect the hearth and mantel for any signs of damage or deterioration.
- Clean the fireplace surround and glass doors to remove any soot or buildup.
- Ensure that the chimney is not obstructed by any nearby trees or other structures.

How Your Fireplace Works
When you light a fire in your fireplace’s firebox, the flames create heat and smoke, and the heat radiates out from the firebox and into the room. However, the smoke needs somewhere to go, and it’s looking for a way out. That’s where the chimney comes in.
The chimney is the vertical structure that extends from the firebox up and to the outside of your home. Its main purpose is to draw the smoke and other byproducts of combustion out of your home and into the atmosphere. This is called a draft, which is created by the difference in air pressure between the inside of the chimney and the outside.
Now, all of that may seem simple enough – heat and smoke is created, then directed where it needs to go (into your home or up the chimney) – but your chimney and fireplace system is a lot more complex than most realize. There are a lot of various parts, all of which need to be working well and cohesively to ensure proper (and safe) function.
Because of this, opt for hiring a pro rather than DIY-ing your chimney projects and maintenance tasks. Trusting our team ensures a job done right!

We used Ables Top Hat Home Services for a fireplace/chimney inspection and I am so glad we did. They did such a thorough job and found so many things that were not caught during our third-party home inspection. Their report was very detailed and informative, and I love that they included references to our fireplace manual as well. The education and peace of mind we got out of it was well worth the money. I really appreciated the care they took while in our home, and everyone was incredibly kind, including their lovely receptionist Jennifer. I am so grateful for the safety they provided to our home and family. I definitely plan on using them again in the future.
