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.
Months of persistent damp with little drying time make ventilation and drainage planes the difference between a sound assembly and rot.
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 Corvallis in Benton County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The Corvallis 10 Ssw station averages 60 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 Corvallis was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Oregon median of 1981.3 Somewhat more of Corvallis's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 54% against 50%, with 10% built since 2010.3
Rainfall is substantial: about 41 inches a year, 7 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. Measurable snow is rare (about 2.9 inches a year).1,2 Heating dominates the year: about 4,853 heating degree days against 216 cooling degree days (base 65°F).1,2 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
Building permits in Corvallis 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.
