A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also 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 tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. 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 area 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 material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
