A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
