A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, 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 then peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared 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 build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
