A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
