A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose 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.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Usually they will begin 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 tiny 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 sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as 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 faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide 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 poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
