Dangers of Pouring Water Into Your Fireplace

When we need to put out a fire, we know our go-to options are usually to let it burn out or to pour water on it. But while pouring water on a fire might work when you’re camping, pouring it in your fireplace is not the best option. Pouring water on a fireplace can cause damage. Many materials used in your fireplace and chimney (such as masonry and steel) are water-sensitive and can become damaged when they absorb water.

This causes weakness and rust in the chimney which can be expensive to fix. Also, when water mixes with creosote, a chemical commonly found in chimneys, it makes a strong smell that will spread throughout your home. it can interrupt the ventilation and can push all of the smoke back into your home. Vapors that are supposed to go out of the chimney instead stay inside for you to breathe. Inhaling smoke can cause breathing problems, dizziness, and even long-term health issues after enough exposure.

Carbon monoxide is also released from wood-burning fires which can be poisonous in large quantities. Worst of all your chimney can potentially explode from the steam produced. So no you should never put a fireplace fire out with water.

Chimney Inspection

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to have a chimney cleaned when there's nice carpet around it?

Our professionals take great care to protect the homes of our customers. Leaving our workspace clean and beautiful is as important to us as the quality chimney care we provide.

How long does it take for a team to arrive after requesting a visit?

We can typically make it to your home within 3-4 days of your initial call.

Do chimneys for gas fires need serviced?

Definitely; all flues can get blocked by debris from animals and exhaust from the fire can cause corrosive buildup. There is also risk that the venting system isn't working properly if the gas stove was installed after the chimney. The installers are not necessarily interested in making sure the system is acceptable as much as getting it installed.

How often should my chimney be swept?

Each chimney and fireplace is different, so there's no perfect answer. The easiest way to know when your chimney needs cleaned is to have it inspected annually as recommended by the NFPA.
