A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, 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 begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off 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 initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and 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 troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
