A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. 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 tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum 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, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft 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 portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound 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 builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas 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 exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
