There are many house fires in Queensland every winter and it is essential that you get your Chimney or Flue swept regularly.
Reasons why your wood heater flues need to be cleaned and inspected yearly.
- Because you have no idea what type of wood your tenants or guests have been burning in your wood heater.
- Burning green timber which has not been dried out for at least 12 months
- If wet timber has been burnt in your wood heater it can cause high amounts of creosote and ash to build up in your wood heater chimney flue which can then lead to CHIMNEY FIRES.
Another reason why you should get your wood heater chimney flue Swept and inspected every 12 months is if your wood heater chimney flue has had a chimney FIRE.
