A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries as well as fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept once-a-year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fire place, and will then tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect 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 dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly cleaning 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic 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 begins as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, 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 becomes really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and also 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 flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your residence 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 inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most common cause 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 level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
