A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect 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, and also brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 then peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful 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 must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
