A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often 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 ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
