A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very 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 vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved 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 starts 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 more difficult to remove, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and 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. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up 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 also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable method to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
