Creosote Puts You At Risk
The reason a dirty chimney is so dangerous is because of creosote accumulation. What is this? Well, it comes in a few different forms such as flaky, tar-like, or hard/glossy, and it builds up in your chimney with each fire. Restricting air flow, burning unseasoned wood or trash, and overloading the firebox are all factors that contribute to the accumulation of creosote at a faster pace.
Creosote shows up in your chimney, no matter what you burn in your fireplace. That’s why you need to get your chimney cleaned on a regular basis. Creosote is highly flammable, and you are faced with an increased risk of chimney fires.
The Danger of Creosote & Chimney Fires
Chimney fires are often slow-moving and quiet, meaning regular sweepings and inspections are vital. Many homeowners won’t even realize one has occurred and continue to light fires. If your structure has been damaged by a chimney fire, you’re much more prone to experience a house fire or gas leak, which can lead to serious injury or even death. On top of that, the structure of your chimney get weaker too, and you could eventually face a tilted chimney, a settlement, or a collapse, all of which are dangerous and time-consuming to fix – not to mention expensive!
