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 blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound 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 builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
