A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause 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 every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then 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 trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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 extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through 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 unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
