A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place 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 execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
