A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the 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 variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
