A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. 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 soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can permit 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 cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
