A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, 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 builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally requiring 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 extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
