A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective 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 technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms 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 becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow 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 unsafe for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
