A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
