A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material 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 accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
