A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
