A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective 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 professional will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
