This rain cap has quite a bit of creosote on it. It also has an opening that lets water in. This Z Flex chimney liner also has quite a bit of creosote at the top. We are using a customized power sweep with flexible cleaning rods to clean all this. The benefit of using this custom equipment is that there is less chance of damage to the liner, and it doesn’t get stuck like regular cleaning brushes. To maintain a chimney, it needs to be swept once a year or more if you burn wet wood. If you don’t clean it often enough, performance slows down, and there is increased danger of a chimney fire.
