Creosote is a byproduct of regular fireplace use: a tarry, flammable substance that coats the interior of your chimney. It\u2019s very natural and as long as you have your fireplace maintained regularly, you shouldn\u2019t have any problems with it. Eventually, however, creosote will build up to sufficient levels to constitute a fire hazard, and even when it doesn\u2019t, it can block the flow of air through your chimney, severely reducing the effectiveness of your fireplace. In terms of chimney repair, St. Paul MN has the experts to handle creosote build-up.<\/p>\n

If you need to treat creosote build-up, don\u2019t hesitate to give the fireplace maintenance experts at 2nd Generation Chimneys a call. You\u2019ll be glad you did!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Why Spring is Ideal For Treating Creosote<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s tough scheduling \u00a0fireplace cleaning<\/a> in the winter, because it means giving your fireplace a rest during the coldest parts of the year (as well as opening your home to the frigid temperatures outside). As spring blooms, you\u2019ll have the luxury of scheduling a cleaning session at your convenience. It also makes a golden opportunity to clean up any creosote that has built up since last fall, making your fireplace clean, safe and ready to go when the next heating season rolls around.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, spring is an easier time than others to tackle creosote problems. Temperatures are warmer and yet the mugginess of summer hasn\u2019t set in yet. Treating creosote is fairly simple, though it requires specialized brushes provided by chimney sweeps a well as the training and experience to make sure the creosote is all cleaned up.<\/p>\n

All of which is a round-about way of saying that you should probably treat creosote build-up every spring, not just when you really need it.\u00a0 And if you\u2019re looking to address issues related to chimney repair, St. Paul MN has ready-to-go experts in the form of 2nd<\/sup> Generation Chimneys.
