A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning 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 plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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 build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from building up.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
