A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and 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 truly ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes 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 dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as 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 material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of 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 intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should 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.
