What is level 3 creosote and how did it get in my chimney?
Creosote develops naturally during the combustion process of burning wood. Creosote sticks to the inner chimney walls and accumulates into large deposits. The level and texture of creosote vary depending on the stages. It is velvety in the first stage, and it is crunchy in level 2. While in the most serious level level stage, it is slick and hardened.
When a chimney is not swept for many years, creosote form and pile on overtime. This evolves into the third level as its layers accumulate on top of each other, but it can also begin in its most advanced stage when incomplete combustion happens. If you are not burning seasoned firewood or have a lack of air supply, the temperatures inside your chimney is cool enough for the formation of level 3 creosote also.
How does All American Chimney Service remove level 3 creosote?
When creosote is in the third and most serious stage, it is slick and hardened. When it is at level 3, it is really hard to remove with traditional chimney sweeping brushes. To eliminate glazed creosote, All American Chimney Service uses a specialized cleaning product, Poultice Creosote Remover (PCR), which is manufactured by ChimneySaver, a trusted company and leader in chimney protection.
We apply PCR to the affected areas of your chimney with a brush, sprayer, or a specially designed tool which can move up and down the flue. Once we apply PCR, it begins to absorb the creosote. When the product has dried, creosote then flake and fall off the chimney walls. What is left behind can easily be removed with traditional sweeping techniques. You can trust us to ensure every bit of creosote is cleared from your chimney to protect your family.
