A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start 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 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. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful 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 must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
