A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an industrial vacuum hose right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
