A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a range 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 put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally requiring 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 comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up 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 residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
