A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective 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 service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
