A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence 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 gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
