A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. 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 home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually 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 portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide 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 build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
