A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept annually 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 suggested. 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 residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surfaces. 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

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 builds up 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
