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.
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.
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

Public figures for the city of Salt Lake City in Salt Lake County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
Winters are long: the Salt Lake City Intl Ap station averages 112 nights a year at or below 32°F and 32 at or below 20°F.1,2 In long winters, chimneys work hard and masonry sees many freeze-thaw cycles; annual inspection and a sound cap and crown are the maintenance baseline. The median home in the city of Salt Lake City was built in 1965, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Utah median of 1992.3 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: 65% of Salt Lake City's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 16% since 2010.3 Pre-1940 chimneys were often built without a liner at all; relining with stainless is the usual remedy when the scan shows bare brick. Annual precipitation is low, about 16 inches.1,2 Snowfall averages about 52 inches a year.1,2 Snow sitting against the stack keeps masonry wet for weeks; a cap, a sound crown and sealed counterflashing are what keep it out.
Heating dominates the year: about 5,154 heating degree days against 1,420 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 Salt Lake City 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.
