A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. 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 also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits 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 harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
