A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
