A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
