A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. 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 tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide 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 even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
