A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really 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 protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 after that peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, 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 builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
