A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service expert will perform a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension tubes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Typically 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 small portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult 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 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 extremely heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote build up triggers reduced air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It can cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the best and most effective method to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney as well as your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be inspected every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep soot from developing.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more residue and creosote, they must be swept more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
