A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also 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 shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a little area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound 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 ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
