A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing 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 small area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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 initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes requiring 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 very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause 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 source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
