A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 then peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound 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 get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
