FAQs
How often should I have my fireplace cleaned in Des Moines?
For Des Moines homeowners who use their fireplace regularly, an annual cleaning is recommended. This helps prevent creosote buildup, which is a fire hazard, and ensures your chimney vents properly during our cold seasons. The Woodman can connect you with trusted local professionals for this essential maintenance.
What type of firewood burns best for a long-lasting fire?
For a steady, hot fire that lasts, our dense hardwoods like oak and hickory are excellent choices. They are ideal for overnight burning in a fireplace or wood stove. For a pleasant aroma, fruitwoods like apple or cherry are a popular option. We offer free delivery on all our seasoned wood varieties.
Can issues with my roof or chimney affect my fireplace?
Yes, common local issues like roof flashing corrosion or lift can lead to water leaks around your chimney. This moisture can damage your fireplace structure and interior walls. It's important to address roofing and flashing repairs promptly to protect your chimney system and the safety of your home.
