A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner hose into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surfaces. 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 sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
