A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the 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 then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl 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 begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes requiring 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 becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
