A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 after that peel back a tiny 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, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
