A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney 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 then peel back a small area of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
