A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney 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 sheet 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 tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
