Creosote is a tar-like, black, sooty, and flammable substance. It appears in three stages. The first stage is the easiest to clean and the third stage is incredibly dangerous and hard to remove.To say creosote is a minor problem would be an understatement.ย Creosoteย is neither rare nor harmless. Every wood-burning fire that you burn in yourย fireplace and chimneyย system produces smoke that rises up the chimney. The smoke is filled with hot gases, particles, soot, and creosote that will cover the chimney interior. Though soot can be corrosive to the chimney liner and masonry, creosote presents a whole different set of problems.
Soot is made up of carbon, but creosoteย is made up mostly of tarโa sticky substance that is also flammable. Because of the sticky nature of creosote, it collects easily in a chimney, covering parts, thus clogging the clean out area, and creating a fire hazard. As creosote builds up, it can become a serious obstructionโand when it reaches stage 3 buildup it is also difficult to remove.
When creosote is in the first stage, it looks like a flaky soot. This happens when the flue was filled with cold air and then warmed by the fireโs heat. A chimney sweep will have no problemย cleaning creosoteย at this level with a basic chimney brush.
Second stage creosote develops when theย chimneyย has a restricted amount of air flow. Thisย creosoteย appears as hard, shiny black flakes. The flakes contain hardened tar that is not so easy to remove. At this stage a chimney sweep will most likely have to use a rotary loop to remove the creosote. This is a powerful drill that turns metal rods and performs well against the tarry residue.
Stage 3 creosote, also called glazed creosote becomes a problem only when the chimney isnโt cleaned regularly. When the creosote isnโt removed on a regular basis, it builds up. When it becomes heated, the creosote boils, causing all the moisture in it to evaporate, and leaves a hardened mass of condensed fuel in the flue. Once it reaches this stage, the creosote canโt be brushed away during a standard chimney sweep.A homeowner who uses their fireplace frequently will want to avoid ever reaching this stage. Third stage creosote is not only incredibly difficult to remove, but it is also a dangerous, concentrated fuel. It can easily be ignited by a fire in the fireplace, if not removed.
Creosote will not damage the chimney when it is cleaned regularly and properly. Once creosote reaches stage 3 buildup it can be difficult to remove without damaging the chimneyย liner. You cannot remove it with brushes and a homeowner or handyman attempting to do so with tools will cause damage. Additionally, if it isnโt removed, the glazed creosote can cause a creosote fire that damages the masonry, the liner, and even the structure of the chimney. If you suspect a flue fire, you should call a chimney professional for an assessment right away.
You cannot stop creosote altogether, but youย canย prevent dangerous buildups.
Schedule Regular Chimney Sweepsย โ Your chimney sweep appointments will keep your chimney working properly. The professionals at Green City Pros will assess it with each appointment.
Burn Properly Seasoned Wood โย Burning wet or โgreenโ wood that is freshly cut will drop the efficiency of your fireplace. Green wood is harder to light and burns with less heat, often burning incompletely. This leads to more creosote. We recommend using only properly seasoned firewoodย in your fireplace to keep your chimney system working properly.
When you do have a creosote buildup in your chimney, itโs important to call the professionals for proper and safe removal. The experts at Green City Pros will use an industrial product to remove the creosote without damaging the liner and then we clean the entire flue.
Give us a call before you try to remove creosote yourself. Itโs harmful to breathe, may irritate your skin, and can destroy your flue if it results in a fire.
