A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires yearly. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup 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, flooring, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and seal off the fire place. They'll connect extension tubes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft 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 after that 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 sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote solidifies.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most common cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to avoid fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other issues can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves create even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
