A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surface areas. 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 plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning 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 more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
