A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. 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 out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
