A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned 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, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases 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 becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
