Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Why you should check your Chimney for Cracks after a Natural Disaster (such as Earthquakes)
It is especially important to check chimneys for cracks after earthquakes. Earthquakes are one of the major causes of cracks in chimneys, especially earthquake prone areas. So, periodical checking of cracks in chimneys is utmost essential. Cracks in chimneys may even cause the chimneys to collapse resulting in damage to your property. It also inculcates financial loss. Cracks in chimneys are dangerous as there will be no prevention from hot gases in entering the room. It may even cause the walls of the chimneys to catch fire as a result of prolonged exposure. Chances of CO emissions are high due to cracks in chimneys. You will not even know that you are breathing in CO. In addition, when heat, moisture and gases escape through the chimney it may cause the chimney to get corroded from inside out. The chimney fires cause plenty of deaths and several dollars lost in property each year in United States. However, they can be prevented very easily. Key is keeping your fireplace totally free from cresote buildup. The creosote is flammable and sticky substance that is caused by the unburned gases, which condense on inside of your chimney.

Clean up your chimney

Right chimney cleaning and care is a key in preventing the creosote buildup. Firstly, you need to check chimney very closely for the creosote. Have the chimney sweep professional to do this for you. The quarter inch of the creosote buildup signals time for the cleanup. Check often twice in a month during heating season. Chimneys of the open fireplaces require cleaning in every 2 or 3 years. However, those serving the wood burning stoves or made metal fireplaces need yearly cleaning. That is because fires burn slowly and make more of creosote.

Protect the chimney

You may protect the chimney from the creosote buildup when the fire is burning just by using well seasoned wood. Avoid making use of the low damper settings at extended times. Temperature of fire as well plays important role in the creosote formation and burning. Run the wood stove within manufacturer's suggested temperature limits. Very low temperature increases the creosote buildup, and very high the temperature might cause certain damage to chimney and result at chimney fire. You can avoid roaring the fires just by adding enough of fuel to keep fire at desired temperature. Never burn the household trash, Christmas trees or cardboard in the fireplace. Sparks they make will lead to the chimney fires.

Besides chimney, inspect electrical components, blowers and anything that can be linked with the wood burning unit. Check integrity of chimney stove pipe or any flame arresters. Suppose you have open fireplace, without screen, check out for nests that might be built inside over summer. It's good to try and clean out nests that can be in chimney flu as these could cause excitement or flash fire while you first light the fireplace.
