A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop 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 even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
