A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove 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 recommends having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
