Before and after on a 3 year old wood stove was night and day

I cleaned a stove last month that had 3 years of buildup on it. The chimney was almost completely clogged, only a 2 inch hole left for smoke to escape. The homeowner said it had been drafting fine so I showed them the photo of the creosote. Has anyone else had a client swear their chimney is fine when it's clearly not?

Read somewhere that 90% of chimney fires happen in stoves they thought were fine.

Seen too many of those fires start from folks burning wet wood, not from lack of cleaning.
