A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap 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. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a tiny area of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they should be swept a lot more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
