A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring 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 very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
