A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

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 accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
