A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also 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 specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once 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 hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
