A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really 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 room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
