Why Chimney Sweeping Matters
What You Need to Know About Creosote
How to Minimize Creosote Buildup
Every time the fireplace is used, creosote is deposited in the flue or chimney lining. This is potentially dangerous because creosote is highly flammable. Simply having large deposits of creosote in your chimney is a fire hazard.
You can keep your family safe (and avoid millions of dollars worth of property damage) by simply minimizing this buildup. Today we’re going to talk about the importance of chimney sweeping, and how it helps fight creosote deposits.
Why Chimney Sweeping Matters
The National Fire Protection Association recommends having annual fireplace and chimney inspections to determine whether the creosote buildup has reached dangerous levels. This, in turn, helps reduce the possibility of fires.
Otherwise, creosote can easily ignite and cause a chimney fire, which can quickly escalate into something more serious. Did you know that around 30 percent of all house fires every year are caused by unclean chimneys?
Chimney sweeps perform these inspections to ensure that everything is in order—and that’s not just about the creosote. They will tell you if there are parts that need to be repaired and if there components that are damaged and have to be replaced. The chimney is exposed to all kinds of elements all year long. And so it is susceptible to damage and wear, even if it is not being actively used.
It can serve as the home to small animals who like to make a nest there. It could be damaged by harsh weather and cause leaking.
Your chimney sweep will make sure your fireplace and chimney is performing optimally, so you can enjoy it without fear. And of course, they’ll keep it clean too.
What You Need to Know About Creosote
Here’s a little more info about creosote, so that you’ll have an idea on what you are up against. Creosote is a filmy substance that sticks to the lining of your chimney. It is quite hard to remove if you don’t know how. But if you can invest on a chimney sweeping log, it can make the job easier for you or the chimney sweep.
Chimney sweeping logs are infused with chemicals that are released when the log is burned. The chemicals cling to the creosote, drying it up and preparing it for removal.
Sometimes this won’t be necessary, especially if you keep your chimney clean all year round. At first, creosote is just like flaky soot that can easily be brushed away with a simple chimney brush. But in time, it can become harder and shinier, at which point the chimney sweeping logs can be very useful. It contains hardened tar that’s very hard to brush away.
If you let this progress any further, the creosote can become extremely difficult to clean. It becomes a highly concentrated fuel that resembles a coating of tar. It’s very thick and hardened at this point, and fire can ignite it. Sometimes, it is better to replace the chimney liner entirely instead of cleaning it.
How to Minimize Creosote Buildup
There are ways to slow down your chimney’s creosote buildup. It’s obviously a better idea to deal with creosote sooner rather than later. So if you want to minimize the buildup, one of the things you can do is avoid burning newly cut, unseasoned firewood. It typically takes between six months and one year for it to get a low moisture content.

We have been getting a mix of ice pellets and freezing rain. Makes the trees look pretty. Hope it does not build up enough ice to bring tree limbs down.

Thunderstorm buildup just to the east, over the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. Atmospheric instability was present this day, ushering t-storm development in much of NorCal. An early spring storm system, or a low pressure area, had brought unsettled weather conditions to our state... Pic taken from around Livermore, CA while along I-580 eastbound. (Tuesday afternoon, April 7, 2015)
Weather scenario\summary:
An early spring storm system brings unsettled weather to California. This storm system was expected to impact Northern and Central California over a few days, particularly around April 4-7, 2015. The 1st wave of this system was to begin to impact the forecasted area with light rain showers to the San Francisco Bay Area. The 2nd wave of the storm system was to be much colder and was to be more intense than the first wave. This wave was to bring rain... heavy at times... to the area Monday night persisting into Tuesday (April 6-7). A few rumbles of thunder was not out of the question. Despite this, we would welcome any rain we could get since we were into our 4th year of drought...
