A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and also are not advised. They will not remove 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 home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas 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 even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
Just how frequently a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
