A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney checked as well as swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will carry out a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning professional will protect the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner tube into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly 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 tiny area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, sometimes requiring 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health, and it puts your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might cause inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney as well as your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least yearly in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how often a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
