A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not suggested. 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 out tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, 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 vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly 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 promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
