A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
