If you plan to use your fireplace this winter, it is very important that your chimney is inspected prior to use. If your chimney hasn’t been cleaned or inspected in a while, you need to call Doctor Flue, inc.!
Burning wood or coal causes water, carbon, and volatiles to condense on the interior surfaces of the chimney flue. The black, oily residue that builds up inside a chimney is called creosote.
If you use your fireplace throughout a season, creosote deposits can become several inches thick. This reduces the airflow through the chimney, which can deplete air needed to sustain a fire.
Creosote is highly combustible, and a lot of creosote creates a fire hazard. If a fire is made in a fireplace, the creosote may ignite, causing a chimney fire. Creosote buildup can be cleaned out by the chimney sweeps at Doctor Flue, inc.
25% of all residential fires in the US are caused by failure to clean out creosote buildup.
