However, many of us still enjoy using a crackling fire, and our chimneys still need to be cleaned. Though made of brick and mortar, chimneys are not free from of hazards and risks. Newer homes with fireplaces also need chimney cleaning. Just like air ducts should have lint and other inhibiting substances removed, our smokestacks need yearly attention.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hazards<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drduct.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/How-useful-can-a-Chimney.jpg\" alt=\"How To Avoid The Most Common Mistakes When It Comes To Fireplace Chimney Safety\" width=\"424\" height=\"283\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soot buildup and other particles in the chimney can create congestion and quickly fill a room with smoke and gas (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/co\/faqs.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>carbon monoxide<\/strong><\/a>). Chimney fires are also a concern if congestive materials are not cleaned away regularly. Creosote is often the main cause of chimney fires. It usually forms after soot has started collecting and combining with other elements. Chimney fires can spread rapidly and cause serious damage to a house, endangering those inside.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Professional Cleaning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drduct.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Dr-duct-fb-321-e1492434796789.jpg\" alt=\"Why Professional Chimney Cleaning is Critical\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Professionals who clean chimneys<\/strong> are not like the old-time \u201csweeps\u201d who simply ran brushes and other simple tools up and down the chimneys.
