A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get 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 room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum 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, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins 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 more difficult to remove, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very 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 limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
