Creosote Removal FAQs
Creosote is a tar-like byproduct of burning wood. It's highly flammable and is the leading cause of chimney fires in the U.S. Even a thin layer can ignite.
Stage 1 is light soot, easily brushed. Stage 2 is crunchy and tar-like. Stage 3 is a hardened, shiny glaze that requires chemical treatment or liner replacement.
Stages 1 and 2 are fully removable. Stage 3 glaze may require specialized chemical treatment or, in severe cases, liner replacement. Annual sweeping prevents Stage 3 buildup.
