Each line is written so it can be compared with any other quote you get.

Storm season and creosote smells in Springfield
Storm season rain falls inland as well, and water on flue deposits strengthens their smell.
If your Springfield fireplace smells after storms, heavy deposits may be the cause.

How smoke turns into glaze
Wood smoke carries water vapor, tar and unburned gases. When it meets flue walls cooler than itself, part of it condenses into a liquid that coats the walls. Later fires heat that coating and bake it hard.
Layer by layer, fire after fire, it becomes glaze. The conditions that speed it up are all about temperature: a smoky, cool fire, a cold flue and a flue too large for the smoke passing through it. That is why glaze removal comes with a look at the fire and the flue, not only the deposits. Removing glaze without changing those conditions only resets the clock.
Why a creosote smell comes and goes
Creosote in a flue gives off a sharp, smoky odor that tends to be stronger on damp days and when air is moving down the chimney into the house. Kitchen and bath fans, or a stack effect in the house, can pull that air in through the fireplace.
Removal takes away the source. A damper that seals, a cap that keeps rain off the deposits and a check on what is pulling air into the house help too. If the smell returns after removal, we look at those factors before assuming more cleaning is needed.
Using the fireplace between rounds
When removal takes more than one round, the product label decides whether and how the fireplace may be used in between. Some treatments need fires to work. Others need the fireplace left cold until they are brushed out.
We give you the instructions for your treatment in writing, with the date of the next visit. If the fireplace should not be used, we say so plainly. If it may be used, we explain how, including what kind of fire and for how long, so the treatment works as its maker intends. If you are unsure about a fire, a phone call before lighting it settles the question.
