A chimney fire is the combustion (burning) of residue deposits referred to as soot or creosote, on the inner surfaces of chimney tiles, flue liners, stove pipes, etc. Causes[edit] The process begins with the incomplete combustion of fuel in the attached appliance, usually a wood or coal stove, or open fire.
When wood is burning rather slowly, the smoke usually contains a substance called creosote that collects in the relatively cool chimney flue. The main causes of creosote buildup are: Wet or unseasoned wood. Incomplete combustion.
One legend has it that it all started in medieval England when one day the King was saved by a Chimney Sweep, who pushed him out of the way of a runaway horse and carriage. As a reward for his good deed, the King decreed that all Chimney Sweeps should henceforth be regarded as lucky.
On occasion, someone will call us and ask to do a sweep without an inspection. It may seem like a good way to trim down costs, but when you factor in the potential risks (and expense!) of not inspecting, this makes no sense at all. We get a fair number of customer requests for things that don’t make sense, but we have to be professional and perform our work according to the National Fire Protection Code (NFPA 211). This code recommends that all chimneys get inspected every year and swept as needed. That is precisely what we do. Once we are done, all customers get a written inspection report with our findings and services performed.
"My experience with black magic is top-of-the-line. They are friendly polite clean and efficient, and on time. I would not go anywhere else"
"The two technicians showed up on time, were very nice, courteous and professional. They cleaned our woodstove flue and then followed up with a written report. Before they started, they, put down drop cloths to prevent any soiling of our carpets and floors. I plan to use Black Magic in the future for my woodstove cleaning and or repairs."
"From the very beginning Black Magic was responsive, professional, and knowledgeable to help bring our chimney back to life. Many thanks."
"Chris and his team and Jennifer in the office took great care of us on the installation of a chimney for a wood stove. The installation was well done, the installation team was professional, friendly and went right to work and got the job done. Highly recommend them."
