A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. 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 residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. 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. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as 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 develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring 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 comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot 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 within.
