Why Decatur’s Fall Humidity Makes This Year’s Sweep a Fire Hazard
Decatur’s late-summer heat followed by sudden damp air creates the perfect storm for creosote, tar-like buildup that ignites at 1,100°F. Last year, our team found three times the normal residue in North Decatur homes that skipped their spring sweep. If your chimney hasn’t been cleaned since last winter, that gunk is already hardening into the most dangerous form: glossy, glass-like creosote that clings to flue walls like varnish. Our full-service sweep removes it all, plus checks for cracks or rust Decatur’s humidity accelerates. Pro tip: If your fireplace smokes even when the fire’s small, that’s creosote blocking airflow, and a clear sign to call a chimney sweep Decatur now. See our seasonal checklist to spot other red flags before they become emergencies.
