A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
