A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide 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 bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
