What is creosote and why is it dangerous?

Creosote is the tar-like residue left by burned wood. It coats your chimney walls, is highly flammable, and can ignite into a chimney fire — which can crack the flue liner and spread to your home.

Do you clean gas fireplaces too?

Yes. Gas fireplaces need less-frequent service but still benefit from periodic inspection and venting check. Ask us for the right schedule for your unit.
