The Dangers of a Neglected Chimney
Without regular cleaning, soot and creosote can build up inside your chimney. Creosote, a highly flammable substance that forms from unburned wood particles and other byproducts of combustion, is the leading cause of chimney fires. These fires can be incredibly dangerous, spreading quickly to the rest of your home.
Beyond the fire risk, a blocked chimney can lead to poor ventilation. This can cause smoke and dangerous gases, like carbon monoxide, to leak back into your home. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly if inhaled.
