A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start on top of the chimney 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 then peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing 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 comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
