A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages 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 once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not recommended. 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 residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes 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 dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material 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 becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
