A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 little portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
