A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove 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 home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting 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 starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
