A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner 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 rods. Normally they will start 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 then peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic 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 begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
