A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
