A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place 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 complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective 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 specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will begin 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 sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
