What Causes Chimney Fires?

Quick answer: Dirty chimneys lead to chimney fires.

Your home’s chimney system is designed specifically to keep your family and home safer while you enjoy endless cozy fires. One of its main functions is to funnel smoke and other harmful byproducts outside of your home – and regardless of the type of fuel you burn, your chimney system could put your household at risk if not properly swept and maintained on an annual basis.

If you have a wood-burning fireplace or stove, then creosote buildup is your biggest worry. Creosote is created from burning wood and it’s extremely combustible. If not cleared out regularly, your chimney could face some serious damage – and your household some serious risks.

How Often Should I Get a Sweep & Inspection?

We recommend that you get your chimney system inspected and swept at least once a year. And if you use your system a lot, then you may need to do this more often. Other things, like the type of fuel you use, can lead to increased inspections needed as well.

A common misconception is that gas fireplaces, stoves, and inserts don’t require the same maintenance… However, they do. While gas fireplaces, stoves, and inserts may not create creosote, they still leave your home susceptible to things like carbon monoxide or condensation issues. Your best defense against these unwanted occurrences is to have your chimney system inspected and swept each year by our expert chimney technicians.

To sum up, whether you’re burning wood, gas, or pellets, yearly inspections are a must. You’ll also need to have an inspection done anytime a home with a chimney changes ownership. So, if you’ve moved recently, better pick up that phone and give us a call to schedule an inspection.
