A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source 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 as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
