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.
Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
A Level 2 inspection with a video scan is the standard before a property transfer, after a chimney fire, or when the appliance or fuel type changes.
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

Homes in Greenville and chimney sweeping work
Public figures for the city of Greenville in Washington County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The Greenville Asos station averages 42 nights a year at or below 32°F and 3 at or below 20°F.1,2 Repeated freeze-thaw cycles open small masonry cracks; an inspection should include the crown, the cap and the condition of the flue tiles. The median home in the city of Greenville was built in 1970, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Mississippi median of 1986.3 Older masonry chimneys may be unlined or have cracked clay tile liners; a Level 2 camera inspection is the standard way to confirm the liner before the first fire of the season.
The stock is old by national standards: 74% of Greenville's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 2% since 2010.3 Rainfall is substantial: about 49 inches a year, 15 days of it an inch or more.1,2 Heavy rain tests the flashing and crown; most chimney leaks enter there rather than through the brick, and the inspection report should say which. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,619 heating and 2,295 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).1,2 With both heating and cooling seasons, assemblies are specified for moisture movement in both directions.
Building permits in Greenville are normally issued by the city building department.4,5 Where a liner or rebuild needs a permit, the contractor files it with the city before work starts.
