A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place.

Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surfaces.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
