Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How can a chimney fire occur in my home?

Chimney fires can occur at home if you are not maintaining your fireplace and chimney regularly. Getting your chimney cleaned by a certified, professional chimney sweep can prevent a disaster because if you do not clean it, there will be creosote inside the flue or liner. A professional chimney sweep should do the cleaning because they are the ones who know how to remove and identify flammable materials inside the chimney. They can tell you the degree of creosote found inside and you do not want it to be thicker than one eighth of an inch.

Avoid using a gasoline or kerosene to start a fire in your fireplace as this might cause a chimney fire to occur in your home, you can use newspaper to start the wood or logs but make sure that it is dry and clean. Do not use unseasoned wood as this will build up creosote in the chimney. The creosote is a highly combustible material and can spark immediately if a burning ember touches it. Once the creosote sparks, it will cause your chimney to burn within minutes.

Burn only the things that is safe to burn like dried wood and clean newspaper but do not use anything else such as an old cloth or dress or an old shoe and any liquid materials. If you can use a single large log instead of several small pieces of wood in the fireplace, that would be better. Not taking care of your chimney and ignoring it can also cause chimney fire in your home. Have a chimney sweep clean and inspect it every year. If you will follow the rules and guides on how to maintain your chimney, the disaster can be prevented and the chance of getting a chimney fire diminishes.

The most important fact you need to keep in mind is that if you have a chimney at home, then you must stay aware about those facts which can trigger chimney fire. As mentioned, a chimney fire can occur due to a variety of reasons. Keeping your family aware of all these possibilities can really help to avoid chimney fire. Sometimes, people wish to accomplish the installation or maintenance of their chimney on their own. They wish to do so just to save some money. But this is where they tend to make a big mistake. Chimney maintenance and repair must be done to specific safety codes and guidelines, and if you make a mistake it could be very dangerous, and hence always keep your chimney in check with professional help to avoid any problems.
