A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also 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 shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. 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 soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 little area of the plastic sheet 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 relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop 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 also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
