A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally requiring 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 very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
