A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the 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 tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
