A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of just how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
