A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
