A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously cleaning 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 up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous feature 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 promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
