A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the 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 small area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms 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 becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes requiring 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
