A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, 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 suggests having your chimney examined and also swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously brushing all the surfaces. 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 area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 becomes very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
