A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation 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 hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even 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 within.
