A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
