A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get 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 tarps over the space, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms 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 comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
