A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and swept annually in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, inserting an industrial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Typically they will begin at the top of the chimney and work downward, carefully 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 small area 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 relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases 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 comes to be really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it places your house in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up 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 cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
