A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off 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 catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin 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 then peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
