The 3 Stages of Creosote (The Danger Scale)


"Creosote" is the tar-like, flammable byproduct of burning wood. Not all creosote is the same.

  • Stage 1 (Soot): A light, feathery dust. It's easy to remove with a brush. This is the best-case scenario.
  • Stage 2 (Porous & Crumbly): This is a harder, more concentrated deposit. It looks like black, crunchy flakes. This is a clear sign you're overdue for a cleaning and is a serious fire risk.
  • Stage 3 (Glazed): This is the most dangerous. It looks like a shiny, black, tar-like "glaze" on your flue. It is extremely flammable and the hardest to remove, often requiring special chemicals.

How Does a Chimney Fire Start?


All it takes is one hot ember to ignite the creosote build-up. A chimney fire can burn at over 2000°F. This can crack your chimney liner, allowing the fire to spread to your home's wooden frame.

Our "No-Mess" Cleaning Process


We are professionals, and we respect your home.

  • We lay down tarps and use a high-powered vacuum with a HEPA filter to ensure no dust or soot enters your room.
  • We use a system of flexible, rotating brushes to scrub the entire flue, from the firebox to the cap.
  • We clean the smoke shelf and damper.
  • We provide a Level 1 Safety Inspection with every sweep to check for cracks or blockages.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • How often do I need a chimney sweep? The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that all chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected and cleaned at least once per year.
  • I only use my fireplace a few times a year. Am I good? No. Even a few fires can create a dangerous "glazed" creosote, especially if you burn unseasoned wood. The "once-a-year" rule is for safety, regardless of use.
  • I have a gas fireplace. Do I need this? You don't get creosote, but you still need an annual inspection. Birds can build nests in the flue, and a blockage can cause dangerous carbon monoxide to vent back into your home.
  • What about those "creosote cleaning logs"? Those logs are a supplement, not a substitute. They can help reduce some (not all) creosote but cannot replace a physical, professional scrubbing.

Brownsville, PA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough of Brownsville has a total area of 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2), of which 0.97 square miles (2.5 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2), or 10.47%, is water—most of which is the Fayette County half of the Monongahela River between the community and the flatter lands of West Brownsville on the opposite shore in Washington County. As a community, the town is the central population center for a number of outlying hamlets geographically tied to the town for the same reasons they were founded nearby: western Pennsylvania has far more hills and steep slopes than flats or gentle sloping terrains suitable for settlement. This keeps Brownsville at the nexus of the transportation infrastructure which grew up during its history. While no longer a passenger depot, Brownsville and West Brownsville share an important railway bridge, creating a balloon loop that allows the turning of complete coal trains. The limited-access toll road PA Route 43 connects the town to strategic points and southern Pittsburgh at Clairton. PA Route 88, hugging the river, connects to towns up and down the Monongahela Valley. The historic National Road (now US Route 40) reached East Saint Louis, Illinois, and connected the town to the immigrants arriving in the port of Baltimore traveling west on the Cumberland Turnpike and the National Road.
