A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney 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 then peel back a little area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound 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 comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, sometimes needing 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 comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also 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 couple of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates reduced airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
