Both fireplaces and wood burning stoves will need to be kept clean and free of obstacles to keep them in well-working arrangement and safe. By eliminating harmful by-products from the flame that develop in a chimney, like highly flammable creosote, the prospect of a chimney fire and smoke/gases leeching into the living area. Chimneys should be inspected and cleaned at least once annually but might require more frequent cleaning depending on how frequently it's used. Should you ever notice build-up in the chimney or even a glazed creosote finish have the chimney inspected immediately to avoid the risk of smoke damage or home fire. Creosote naturally occurs from burning wood. As cool smoke climbs through a chimney the residue condenses on the interior walls, creating black, oily creosote. This material is an issue as it's highly flammable and may develop into a couple inches thick when not cleaned out properly. This build-up can cause smoke to flow into the living room or a chimney fire; creosote is your primary cause of chimney fires. The elimination of creosote depends upon the length of time it's been around. Fresh creosote can be brushed off by us, your Calgary chimney cleaning experts.
