A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally 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 vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
