The Dangers of Creosote and Soot in a Chimney Flue

Every time you burn a fire in your fireplace, combustible by-products are deposited in the chimney flue in the form of creosote and soot. The buildup of creosote and soot can cause a dangerous blockage that not only interferes with the performance and efficiency of your fireplace, but leads to carbon monoxide backing up into your living area.

Neglected and unsafe chimneys account for a significant number of injuries and death each year, totaling more than $200 million in property losses every year. Since a damaged, deteriorating, or blocked chimney can cause chimney fires or carbon monoxide poisoning, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends having an annual chimney cleaning and chimney inspection each year.
