A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surface areas. 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 vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
