A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will after that 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 whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the air flow 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 harmful for your health, and it places your house at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful feature of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your house. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep soot from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
