A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete 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 begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 then peel back a small area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing 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. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
