A job last month opened my eyes to a common chimney care myth
I cleaned a chimney last month. The owner said they skipped it for three years. They believed new liners need less care. I found thick creosote during the inspection. This showed me many people have wrong ideas about maintenance. Now I explain the dangers when giving quotes. Seeing this trend has me working with clients differently.

Honestly, I probably would have thought the same thing about a newer liner needing less attention. It just makes sense in your head that newer equals safer. Reading your post really drives home that the risk is the same no matter the age of the parts. It's a good reminder to trust the advice of the pros who actually see what builds up over time. I'm going to be much more strict about scheduling my own cleanings from now on.
