A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get 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 home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically 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 then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes diminished air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept much more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
