When our technicians inspect and sweep chimneys in Morrisville, the most common finding is stage 1 or stage 2 creosote accumulation from fireplaces that have been used for one or more seasons without professional cleaning. Stage 1 creosote — the dusty, flaky deposits from lower-temperature burning — is easily removed with standard brush cleaning. Stage 2 — the harder, tar-like deposits from hotter fires — requires more aggressive treatment and is a significant fire risk if allowed to accumulate further.
The second most common finding is a compromised cap, crown, or liner. Water is a chimney's primary enemy. A cracked chimney crown allows rain to penetrate and freeze-thaw cycles to crack the liner. A damaged liner can allow combustion gases and heat to reach the home's framing material. Our inspection process documents all of these conditions with photos before any work begins, and we explain every finding in plain language before any cleaning starts.
