FAQ Friday: What is creosote? 🔥

Creosote is a dark, sticky residue that can build up inside a chimney when wood is burned. As smoke rises and cools, that residue can stick to the chimney walls — and over time, too much buildup can become a fire hazard.

Stage 1: Flaky, dry soot-like deposits; easiest to remove
Stage 2: Sticky, tar-like or crusty deposits; harder to remove
Stage 3: Hard, shiny, glazed deposits; extremely difficult to remove and highly combustible

Regular chimney cleanings help remove creosote and keep your fireplace ready.

Before and after: a new stainless steel chase cover, finished with a properly fitted chimney cap.

The chase cover is the metal component that protects the top of a prefabricated chimney chase from water intrusion. When it begins to rust, crack or deteriorate, water can get into the structure and create larger problems over time.

This installation gives the chimney a durable new layer of protection, while the cap helps keep rain, debris and animals out of the flue.

If your existing cap is missing, damaged or deteriorating, call 574-271-1677 to schedule an evaluation.

FAQ Friday: Does a gas fireplace still need a chimney inspection? 🔥

Generally, no! Gas fireplaces don’t create the same soot and creosote buildup as a wood-burning fireplace.

That said, it’s never a bad idea to have yours checked if you’ve just moved into a new home or would like a refresher on how to properly use and maintain it. A little know-how can go a long way toward a safe, cozy season.

Give us a call at 571-271-1677 with any questions!
