What is Creosote & Why Is It Dangerous?
Creosote is a dark, tar-like byproduct that forms when wood burns. It builds up inside your chimney flue and is the #1 cause of chimney fires in the United States. The NFPA reports that 25% of all home heating fires involve chimneys with creosote buildup.
Flaky Deposits
Light, dusty buildup. Easiest to remove with standard chimney brushes. Annual cleaning prevents progression.
Tar-Like Coating
Harder, shiny buildup that requires rotary loop systems or chemical treatments to remove safely.
Concentrated Buildup
Most dangerous. Honeycomb-like deposits that require specialized equipment and sometimes flue replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
The NFPA recommends annual chimney cleaning for wood-burning fireplaces. Creosote should be inspected every year and removed whenever Stage 2 or 3 buildup is detected.
Stage 1 creosote can sometimes be brushed off, but Stage 2 and 3 require professional equipment and training. Attempting DIY removal of heavy creosote is dangerous and often ineffective.
Standard Stage 1 removal takes 45-90 minutes. Stage 2 typically takes 2-4 hours. Stage 3 may require multiple visits depending on severity.
Burning unseasoned (wet) wood, low burning temperatures, and restricted airflow all accelerate creosote buildup. Our technicians will advise you on best practices to slow accumulation.
