A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner tube into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. They'll attach extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Typically they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates 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 very hot. Hard creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really hefty, it limits the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it puts your home at risk of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to withstand a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of yearly in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept much more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
