A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also 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 protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 after that peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety 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 put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 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 very heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. 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 swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
