- Alex GHighly recommend. 5 stars! The team from Chimney Pro was super helpful getting our new chimney winter ready. We recently bought a new home and needed a sweep and a new chimney cap. They were able to come out within a week and sweep my chimney at a very reasonable price. Compared to the competition they are the best value for your buck. They then took measurements for my custom chimney two flute cap and came back to install as soon as they received from the factory. Mike was excellent at communicating and I will use again for future chimney sweeps and needs! We also have recommended to all friends and family with chimney needs.
Creosote — The Biggest Threat
All
wood-burning chimneys build up a dangerous substance called creosote,
which is a dark-colored matter that can be solid, liquid, or gas, and
presents the greatest threat to chimney safety. It’s made up of the
unburned carbon from your fuel source. It leaves the hearth in vapor
form, but becomes solid once again when it encounters the cooler air in
your chimney, allowing it to stick to the walls of your flume or liner.
Creosote will build up inside your chimney lining like layers of tar,
and because it’s a highly flammable material, creosote represents the
biggest chimney safety hazard—if the creosote ignites, it will cause a
chimney fire that can damage or even destroy your home.
Creosote
builds up in three stages, the first of which is the innocuous black
powder commonly called “soot.” Some soot inside your chimney is
unavoidable and not dangerous, and it’s easily removed with a gentle
brushing. In the second stage, this soot comes together in clumps that
form shiny, solid flakes that contain tar oil, allowing them to cling
tightly to the walls of your chimney. Not only are these hardened shards
of creosote more likely to catch fire, they’re also harder to remove.
The third and final stage is when these hardened flakes of creosote
completely coat your liner, and the layers of glazed tar only becomes
thicker with every fire you light. This is the most likely form of
creosote to ignite, and almost impossible to remove.
If you don’t clean you chimney regularly, you risk moving beyond stage one and into the danger zone. Chimney fires can be explosive—a creosote fire can burn at temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The intense heat can cause the flue to crack or collapse, and your surrounding interior walls to burst into flame, or embers can shoot out the chimney and ignite a fire on your roof. At the least, a creosote fire can seriously damage your chimney, but at the most, they can start a fire that can destroy your home and endanger your family. Don’t risk it!
