To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace.

Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surfaces.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
