A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
