A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause 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 and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement 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 hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas 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 result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
