Frequently Asked Questions: Creosote Buildup Prevention

How often should I have my chimney inspected to prevent creosote buildup?
It’s recommended to have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year, especially before the start of the heating season, to ensure any creosote buildup is addressed.
What are the best practices to minimize creosote buildup?
To minimize creosote buildup, use seasoned hardwoods, maintain a hot fire, ensure proper airflow, and avoid burning materials like paper or cardboard that can contribute to rapid creosote accumulation.
Can I prevent creosote buildup by using creosote sweeping logs?
Creosote sweeping logs can help reduce mild creosote buildup by releasing chemicals that loosen deposits. However, they should not replace professional chimney cleaning and inspections.
