A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney inspected as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not recommended. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 portion of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts 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 more difficult to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is very hefty, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the best and also most effective means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they should be swept more frequently. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
