A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
