A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause 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 annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose 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 off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it comes to be 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. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it puts your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they need to be swept much more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
