Buildup can narrow the flue, but a blockage or damper problem can also affect draft. If smoke enters the room, stop using the fireplace until it has been checked. Ask about an inspection rather than assuming cleaning alone will solve the problem.
Material dropping from above often means buildup on the flue walls.
Odor that lingers, especially in damp weather, is commonly associated with creosote deposits.
Before the visit, let the fireplace cool completely — ideally no fire for at least a day — and clear the area in front of the hearth. Tell us about any concerns, such as odors, smoke, or recent changes in how the fireplace performs.
Cleaning removes soot and creosote from the flue. It isn't the same as an inspection or a repair, so if something beyond buildup is noticed, ask what the appropriate next step would be.
