A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed 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 examined and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the 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 vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared 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 accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 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 extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
