A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 portion of the plastic 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 substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
