A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also 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 house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas 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 also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source 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 carried out is the best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
