A chimney sweep will certainly do a extensive chimney cleaning to get rid of any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and fires annually. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service specialist will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and also fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum tube right into the fireplace, and will then tape and seal off the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, meticulously 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 portion of the vinyl sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy build up which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, 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 fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip as well as melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely heavy, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of different ways. It's toxic and hazardous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in jeopardy of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also bring about death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally flammable. It's the most usual cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the very best and most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked a minimum of once a year in order to avoid fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned annually to keep soot from building up.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more soot and creosote, they must be swept a lot more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
