Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency:
Yearly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up.
• By:
Qualified Service Technician/Homeowner
Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged
and the exhaust blower is off.
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly
ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system
and restrict the flow of the flue gases.
At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there is
a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it will
lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the exhaust
venting system.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least once a
year or more often depending upon the quality of your fuel
or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections. Ash will build
up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
