A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 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 relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
