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 blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

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 accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even 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 begin to drip and also 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 circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
