A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 then peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts 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 harder to eliminate, 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. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
