A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence 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 build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual cause 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 level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
