A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an industrial vacuum pipe right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes 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 dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery 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, in some cases 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
