A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial 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, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and also most reliable method to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
