A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates 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 hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe feature of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
