A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 then peel back a small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
