Why does creosote build up in a Moody chimney?
Creosote forms when wood smoke cools on its way up the flue and leaves a coating on the inner walls. The cooler the flue and the smokier the fire, the faster it grows. Slow, smoldering fires and damp wood are the biggest culprits, and they are common in the shoulder seasons when people burn small fires just for the ambience.
It comes in stages. First a dusty, black soot. Then flaky, crunchy deposits. Finally a hard, shiny glaze that is tough to remove and very flammable. A yearly sweep stops the buildup before it reaches that last stage.
If you use your fireplace regularly, it is worth knowing where your chimney is on that scale.
Homeowners often assume only heavy users need to worry, but light, slow fires are actually the ones that produce the most creosote per log, because a cool, smoky burn deposits more on the flue walls.
A sweep is the only way to clear the harder, glazed layers of creosote, because they do not flake off with an ordinary brush or poker.
What is included in the $99 sweep and inspection in Moody?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts from $99. It covers the parts that matter for safe burning.
- A sweep of the flue to remove soot and creosote
- A check of the flue, firebox and damper
- A check of the cap and crown
If we find anything that needs extra work, we explain it and give you the price before any work starts. You decide whether to go ahead.
The sweep removes the residue, and the inspection shows how thick it had become, so you can judge whether your burning habits are working or whether something should change.
How can Moody homeowners slow creosote buildup?
A few habits help a lot. Burn dry, seasoned hardwood. Build hot, clean fires instead of letting logs smolder. Keep the damper fully open while the fire is burning so the smoke has a strong draft to carry it out.
Skip burning trash, cardboard and painted or treated wood. They produce heavy smoke and leave nasty deposits.
These habits make a real difference, but they do not replace the yearly sweep. Even careful burners collect creosote over time, and only an inspection tells you how much.
Damp firewood is a common hidden cause of buildup. Wood stacked on bare ground or left uncovered in the rain soaks up moisture, and burning it means your fire spends energy boiling off water instead of producing clean heat.

Top 3 Reasons to Sweep your Chimney
The importance of yearly chimney inspections and sweepings cannot be understated, as they are the one true way to minimize the likelihood of a chimney fire sparking in the first place. The fact is that clean chimneys simply don’t catch fire.
- Prevent Chimney Fires
- Protect Your Health
Breathing the fumes from gas or solid fuel fires can be dangerous—or even fatal. - Avoid Smoke Damage
If a chimney is not cleaned regularly, soot will accumulate around the flue. This makes it difficult for the flue to draw the smoke upwards and can cause the smoke to enter your room. This soot will leave a black film around your hearth and soil any furniture, carpeting, or nearby decor. Smoke can also leave black stains around your chimney, which can be difficult or sometimes impossible to remove.
What Degree of Creosote is in Your Chimney?
A buildup of creosote is the main reason why it’s important to have your chimney cleaned and inspected annually, but did you know that there are three degrees, or stages, of creosote?
Soot: While not dangerous, soot is flammable and spreads easily, leaving dirt stains in your home and potentially causing respiratory illnesses.
Creosote flakes: If soot isn’t addressed in a timely manner, over time it can morph into larger flakes, which are highly flammable and more difficult to remove.
Tar creosote: Severe disrepair. At this stage, the creosote coalesces to form a thick, extremely flammable paste along the walls of the chimney. The tar releases gasses, which remain in the chimney flue until a fire is lit. At that point, the gasses as well as the tar will catch fire almost immediately.
Chimney Fire Causes
Factors that increase risk of chimney fires include:
- Failing to have your chimney swept often enough, which can lead to soot buildup
- Blockages such as soot buildup, animal nests, or bits of foliage in your chimney that can restrict air flow
- Burning wet or unseasoned wood, which increases the production of creosote

Can't say enough good things about this company. James is extremely easy to communicate with, and is glad to answer any questions. The installers were extremely quick, but did a very quality job, at an affordable price. If I need any future chimney work I will definitely be coming back to Chimney Master Dallas.

I will try to keep this short and sweet! From dealing with the owner about what our needs really were to keeping the communication lines open and his team installing our new Buck Stove.
