A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing all the surface areas. 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop 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 lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
