A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 little portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing 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 begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
