Why it is important to clean the chimney?
Mainly to prevent chimney fires. Chimney fires are caused by the build-up of flammable creosote in the inner walls of the chimneys. Creosote builds up because of the cooling of smoke as it rises up though the chimney, this can cause the creosote to condense on the inner part of the chimney wall. Burning dry and seasoned wood, and having an annual inspection and cleaning of your chimney are the two best methods to avoid chimney fires.
