A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries and fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin at the 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 small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally needing 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 very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best and most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at the very least yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves create even more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
