A chimney sweep will certainly do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, placing an commercial vacuum pipe into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 then peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally 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. Hard creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and also colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide build up, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and also most effective way to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and also your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of yearly in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces should be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they ought to be swept a lot more often. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
