A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet 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 tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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 becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
