A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
