A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year.

A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
