A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. 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 swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
