A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney 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 after that peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, in some cases 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
