Why Tampa Homeowners Choose Us
Understanding the 3 Stages of Creosote
Stage 1 creosote is a light, flaky deposit — the result of incomplete combustion. It is removed easily with standard brushing and is what annual sweeping addresses. Stage 2 has hardened into a dark, tar-like substance that dried and adhered to the liner walls — it requires rotary mechanical cleaning tools. Stage 3 is a glazed, highly concentrated coating of solidified tar — it is extremely flammable, burns at over 2,000°F, and cannot be removed by any brushing method alone.

For Stage 2 creosote, we use professional rotary cleaning systems with specialized brushes that break through hardened deposits layer by layer, removing material that standard sweeping cannot address. For Stage 3 glazed creosote, we apply ChimneySaver CreoSweep — a professional product that changes the chemical structure of the creosote, making it porous and friable so it can be removed in a follow-up mechanical cleaning. This two-stage chemical and mechanical process is the industry-recommended approach.

After professional creosote removal, we provide every client with a written prevention plan. The most important factor in preventing dangerous creosote buildup is burning only properly seasoned firewood with a moisture content below 20%. Wet or green wood produces dramatically more creosote than dry, seasoned wood. We recommend purchasing a wood moisture meter and can provide a list of reputable seasoned firewood suppliers in the Carrollwood and Tampa Bay area.
