A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform 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 build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic 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 starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
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 also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
