A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush 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, 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 tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes 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 becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can allow 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 build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
