When you have a wood burning fireplace or stove in your home, it is a good idea to inspect the chimney pipe on a normal basis. You will want to have the chimney cleaned at least once a year before you start using the unit in the fall. Throughout the cold winter months, you will want to watch the amount of ash and building on the pipe and clean it again if necessary. At the end of your normal burning period, you can choose to clean the chimney now, leaving your fireplace ready for next fall.

Replace Worn, Cracked Chimneys with New Stainless Steel Chimney Pipe

When you notice cracks forming within you chimney or in the clay liners, you will want to replace these with stainless steel liners and new chimney pipe, which is available here on our website, at Copperfield Chimney Supply. Using smooth finished pipe helps prevent buildup of the by-products of wood burning fires and increases the amount of time between cleanings during the course of the year.
