A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 area 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 relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
