A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 little portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much 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 more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
