Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Unsafe Levels of Chimney Creosote Explained

It's the development of creosote that can be hazardous for the home owners. Most of the time people prefer to have a chimney or an indoor fireplace in order to make the room more comfortable. However, installation of a chimney, wood burning stove or an indoor fireplace is not the end of the task. All you need to have a proper look at the creation or creosote that can come up with time. There are a few reasons why creosote can develop among which the burning of wed woods or unseasoned woods appears to be the prime one. Improper ventilation can also play a great role in the creation of creosote. Once the smoke coming out of the fireplace will not release properly through the chimney, creosote can gradually develop. Well, cleaning and eliminating the creosote is an important task that you need to perform on a regular interval in order to avoid possible fire hazards or house fire. This is a highly combustible element and it can catch fire easily once the temperature goes higher. There are different levels of creosote and you need to know them first.
  • Creosote can look dusty or flaky and this can be removed easily. At this stage it remains in a loose pattern and with the help of chimney brush this can be cleaned.
  • Tar or crunchy like creosote is tough to remove, as it can stick to the surface in a more rigid manner! To clean it you will need a stiffer brush.
  • Hard, gummy and glazed creosote also needs to be cleaned once it appears.
Excessive buildup in first stage creosote makes a lot of fuel for slow burning fire to happen in top part of chimney. While glazed creosote happens, there's the good chance that chimney fire has happened. Whenever chimney fires happen, flue tiles crack vertically because of rapid temperature change in flue system. Stage three creosote drips down and covering this damage and hardening, to hide dangerous situation. The creosote has tendency of building up at different parts in chimney itself, particularly in smoke chamber and close to damper.

The creosote buildup, doesn't matter what particular stage it is at, has pungent odor as well as has an ability of permeating the whole house, particularly if the chimney has the drafting issues. So, any downdraft can force the odors in your home. There're the Anti-Creosote chemicals on market that will work to reduce smell as well as volume of the creosote in your chimney, however these take several applications to eliminate smell completely. When some of these conditions exist, chimney fire can burn slowly when opposed to the explosively making that fire is not much detectable from the people inside your home. The chimney fire that explosively burns is what's normally described as the chimney fire. When the rapid burning fire takes place in a chimney there's the loud rumbling noise same to the freight train.
