Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire. Third-degree creosote is glazed and hot enough to crack flue tile, and removing it is the entire point of an annual sweep.
Most chimney leaks are not the brick. They are a failed crown, missing cap or bad step flashing where the stack meets the roof - which is why repointing a chimney that leaks through the crown fixes nothing.
High-altitude UV, big temperature swings and real snow load mean assemblies rated for a mild climate fail early here.
What the job includes
- Annual sweeping and creosote removal
- Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
- Stainless cap and crown repair
- Flue liner installation
- Flashing and leak repair
- Dryer vent cleaning
