Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Signs your house had a chimney fire in the past
Chimney fires can endanger both the home and its occupants, and the appearance of Creosote is usually one of the major signs that a Chimney has caught fire in recent times. Puffy creosote with some rainbow streaks that seem to be expanding is a major sign of Chimney fire. Some flues can withstand Chimney fires; however, most of them will be damaged by extensive Chimney fires.

Ways to tell if you have had a Chimney fire
House fires, including Chimney fires usually escalate during the winter seasons, and most Chimney fires are usually caused by Creosote accumulation. When Creosote builds up in the flue walls, some hot gases passing through can easily ignite the highly combustible Creosote causing some loud noises, and some chimney fires may burn slowly, causing some irreparable damages to the fire place. Some of the signs that your Chimney has suffered a fire outbreak in the past include;
  • Puffy Creosote development with some rainbow-colored coatings
  • A warped connector pipe or metals that have been dampened
  • Collapsed flue tiles, or flue tiles that has been partly broken
  • The cap may seem to have been distorted or discolored
  • The roof or ground of the fireplace may have some Creosote flakes
  • The TV antenna or portion of the roof attached to the chimney may be damaged by heat
  • Some roofing materials that might have been damaged by heated Creosote
  • Cracks appearing in the exterior portion of the Chimney's masonry
Taking precautions to avoid Chimney fire
Taking some precautionary steps can help prevent Chimney fire or minimize the effects of such fire disasters. First of all, you need to avoid as much as possible, the buildup of Creosotes, and you can start this by choosing the right firewood. You need to select hardwoods that have been sun-dried or seasoned for specific period of time. You need to avoid freshly harvested wood that contain more moisture and such greener woods will like produce cooler smoke that may condense inside the Chimney and cause significant problems.

You need to consider the fact that larger and compact bunch of woods will also produce cooler fires that can also trigger the gradual buildup of Creosotes. Try as much as possible to create smaller and hotter fires, and make sure you don't burn materials such as cardboard boxes, green woods, and other slow burning materials in your fireplace.

Chimney fires may also be caused by lack of air supply. Creosote can easily form when your fireplace is having little air; therefore you need to ensure that the damper is opened so that smoke can leave the chimney before condensing inside. The glass heart doors must also be left opened to enhance the flow of air.

When your Chimney is obstructed, it gets little or no ventilation and can trap smokes back to your home and such could trigger fire sometimes. Your chimney must be regularly inspected especially before the winter season to ensure that they are safe.
