A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney examined and also swept once a year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the area, floor, as well as fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, putting an commercial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start on top of the chimney and work downward, very carefully cleaning 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 tiny portion of the plastic 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, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally 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 very hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up creates reduced air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous thing about creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most common source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high level of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most reliable way to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney as well as your residence. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to prevent fires and toxic build up.
Exactly how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places ought to be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to prevent soot from developing.
Since wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more soot and creosote, they need to be swept a lot more regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
