A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. 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 area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
