During the cold weather months, many of us enjoy sitting by the fireplace with a blazing fire burning. But I would like to remind everyone how important it is to use your fireplaces and wood burning stoves with safety as your first priority. Make sure you have these items inspected, maintained and repaired as often as neccessary. I receive plenty of calls during the fall and winter months from home owners with fireplace related mishaps. Aside from the obvious danger of something in your home catching fire, soot and smoke damage are just as dangerous and disasterous. I had a call just 2 weeks ago from a client in Scarsdale, NY who forgot to adjust the flue in their fireplace. They started a fire, walked out of the room to attend to something else but began to smell and see smoke. Thankfully, there wasnt any fire damage, but their entire living room as well as the rest of their first floor rooms were smoke and soot damaged. The living room was the worst but the smell of smoke traveled throughout the rest of the home through their central heating/cooling system. Smoke and soot damage can be devestating and it can get very costly to remediate. So take my advice please, and use precaution when using a fireplace or wood burning stove.
