A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum 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 industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that 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 sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
