A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. 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 protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When 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 quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
