A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not get 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 home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins 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 remove, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
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 also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even 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 triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
