If you use your fireplace regularly, one of the biggest safety risks you need to watch out for is creosote buildup. Creosote is a dark, tar-like substance that forms inside your chimney when wood doesn’t burn completely.
Living in Big Bear means embracing snowy winters and crisp mountain air. But while the climate is beautiful, the snow, ice, and moisture can take a toll on your home—especially your chimney. Without proper maintenance, excess moisture can cause serious structural and safety issues over time.
Owning a wood-burning fireplace in Big Bear means cozy nights, warmth during snowy winters, and a true mountain-living experience. But to keep your fireplace safe and efficient, your chimney requires regular attention—especially in a place with Big Bear’s unique weather conditions and heavy seasonal use.
