A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
