A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create 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 and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
