Is Your Chimney Safe?

A clean swept and inspected chimney is a safe chimney. Many homeowners do not realize that the exhaust from wood, oil, coal and gas heating appliances produce chemicals and condensation which deteriorates the interior of the chimney and causes the liner to break down, and even possibly collapse. This can allow smoke and deadly carbon monoxide intrusion into your home! Every chimney needs a to be swept and inspected by a certified chimney sweep on a regular basis.
Oil furnaces produce soot, which mixed with condensation, creates a sulfuric acid reaction deteriorating both clay flue and stainless liner systems. The chimney flue should be swept and inspected on a regular basis to remove the soot, and inspect for any flue deterioration. Wood burning chimneys produce creosote, which is combustible and acidic, and must be swept and removed from the chimney on an anually basis. All chimneys should be swept and inspected on a regular basis by a "CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep". The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 code says, "Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary." Sweeping your chimney will help prevent blockages, deterioration and possible chimney fires which can endanger your entire family.
