A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement via 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 hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against 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 as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
