A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
