A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes needing 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 really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
