A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surface areas. 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl 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 begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really 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 circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
