A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and also fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined as well as swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will then tape and seal the fireplace. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms 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 becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to eliminate, occasionally 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
