A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove 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 residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses 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 dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated 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, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
