Creosote Removal FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is creosote and why is it dangerous?

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.

What are the stages of creosote?

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.

Can all creosote be removed?

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.
