Signs of a dirty chimney include visible soot or creosote, smoke backing up into your home, or a persistent musty odor. Black streaks on the exterior of the chimney near the top can also indicate buildup. These are clear indicators that professional cleaning is required.
In Michigan, look for thick, tar-like creosote lining your chimney flue, especially after frequent winter use. If smoke is entering your living space instead of venting properly, it's a critical sign. A noticeable increase in fireplace odor also signals a need for immediate service.
