A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get 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 house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach 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 dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
