A chimney sweep will do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected and also swept once-a-year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully 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 after that peel back a little area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very hefty, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates diminished airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to develop 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 also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most usual 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 degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
