A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation 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, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
