A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really 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 couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop 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.
