A chimney sweep will certainly 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 cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can permit 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 trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
