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.
Intense sun and wide day-night temperature swings are the local stressors - UV degrades finishes and sealants fast, and repeated expansion opens joints.
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
- Dryer vent cleaning

Public figures for the city of Carlsbad in Eddy County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The Carlsbad Cavern City Ap station averages 69 nights a year at or below 32°F and 8 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 Carlsbad was built in 1973, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the New Mexico median of 1985.3 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.
Somewhat more of Carlsbad's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 59% against 50%, with 20% built since 2010.3 Newer homes commonly have factory-built (prefab) fireplaces; they are inspected and serviced differently from masonry, so mention which type you have. Annual precipitation is low, about 12 inches.1,2 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,756 heating and 2,194 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 Carlsbad 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.
