JRoche Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 How often should a triple wall flue be cleaned and can you clean it using cleaning logs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Whenever a client asks me that question whether it's flues, filters, or gutters, my response is always the same: "As often as it gets dirty." No one can specify a rigid schedule for maintenance on most home stuff. There are too many factors that can contribute to clogging and general wear and tear. And no, cleaning logs don't work.

Hi, Well, sort of, but it's not a substitute for an actual sweeping. The Chimney Safety Institute has published a couple of papers on the subject. At first blush, they seem to contradict one another but actually they don't; you have to read into it.
