A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. 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 quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
