A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft 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 sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about 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 causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
