A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
