A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked as well as swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as 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 after that peel back a tiny area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops 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 remove, in some cases requiring 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air movement through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a number of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
