A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective 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 technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Typically they will start at the 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved 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, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up 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 solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally 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 quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
