A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
