A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to eliminate any deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept yearly in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum hose right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin on top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously 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 tiny portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is very heavy, it limits the air flow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house 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 gas build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most reliable means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be checked yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, cracks and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned annually to prevent soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
