Older Claymont Homes Can Have Long-Term Flue Buildup
About 68% of Claymont homes were built before 1980, and the median year homes were built is 1964. In an older home, years of fireplace use can mean more soot or creosote has had time to collect, so cleaning should address buildup along the flue rather than only the visible fireplace opening.
Three Signs Your Claymont Chimney Needs Cleaning
A dark, flaky residue inside the fireplace
Black or brown deposits around the firebox can indicate soot or creosote buildup. Cleaning targets residue in the flue as well as what you can see at the opening.
Smoke enters the room during a fire
Smoke spilling back into the room can signal a problem with the path smoke takes up the chimney. Stop using the fireplace until the chimney has been checked and cleaned.
A strong, smoky odor when the fireplace is idle
A lingering odor can come from residue inside the chimney. A cleaning removes accumulated soot and creosote rather than masking the smell.
