A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
