A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires each 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 protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly 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 technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing 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 area of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder 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 very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
