A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surface areas. 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 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 relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased air movement and this can enable 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 also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
