A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective 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 professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
