A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal 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 catch 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. Usually they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
