A chimney sweep will do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries and also fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose into the fire place, and will then tape and also seal the fire place. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Normally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very 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 little portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, sometimes 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 really hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to accumulate inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and toxic build up.
How frequently a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how frequently you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be examined on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they should be swept more regularly. A good general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
