A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 fire place 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 really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide 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 also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
