A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will do a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly 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 professional will protect the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum tube into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next off, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Typically they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly brushing 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to remove, occasionally 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it restricts the air flow 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 wellness, and it puts your home in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best as well as most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least annually in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues must be cleaned annually to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
