A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
