A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation 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 room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
