A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
