A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose 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 rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
