What kinds of chimneys do De Soto homes have?

Only about 14 percent predate 1970. The median year built is 1992, and about 70 percent of the city’s roughly 2,460 housing units are detached single-family houses.

What should De Soto homeowners watch for?
- Factory-built fireplaces from the 1980s and 1990s: at 30 to 40 years old, the chase cover, the metal flue and the firebox panels are all due for a close look.
- Wood stoves and pellet stoves: a stove used for real heating puts far more through its chimney than an occasional fireplace fire, so it needs sweeping more often.
- Newer homes: gas fireplace vents and long dryer vent runs need a yearly check.

How often should a wood stove chimney be swept?
At least once a year, and more often if the stove is a main source of heat. A stove that is damped down to burn slowly overnight produces cooler smoke and more creosote than an open fire. If you burn daily in winter, have the flue checked partway through the season as well as before it.
Do pellet stoves need their vent cleaned?
Yes. Pellets burn cleanly, but they leave a fine ash that settles in the vent pipe, the exhaust fan and the passages inside the stove. A clogged vent makes the stove burn poorly and can shut it down. Clean the vent at least once a year, and follow the schedule in the stove’s manual if you burn heavily.
