A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger 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 every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove 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 house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically 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 tiny portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence 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 build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
