A chimney sweep will do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires each year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney inspected and also swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the room, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, putting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fire place, and will after that tape and also seal the fire place. 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 dirt later.
Next off, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, very carefully brushing 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 plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like substance which forms from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, sometimes needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke becomes very hot. Hard creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and unsafe for your health, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up causes diminished air movement and this can permit carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause 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 issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most hazardous aspect of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source 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 degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and also most effective way to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take terrific care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
Exactly how often a chimney must be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces ought to be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, cracks and other problems can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to keep residue from accumulating.
Since wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they must be swept a lot more regularly. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
