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.
Deep frost depth and heavy snow load shape everything structural here, from footing depth to ice-dam protection at the eaves.
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

Winters are long: the Gillette Campbell Ap station averages 179 nights a year at or below 32°F and 84 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 Gillette was built in 1991, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Wyoming median of 1981.3 Most of Gillette's housing is recent: only 31% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 16% were built since 2010.3
Annual precipitation is low, about 14 inches.1,2 Snowfall averages about 56 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 7,497 heating degree days against 519 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.
