A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined as well as swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, inserting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and 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 outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Normally 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 small portion of the plastic sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases 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 becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your home at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best as well as most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
