A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, soot, creosote, and obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries as well as fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and swept every year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service specialist will perform a total cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly not effective and also are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, flooring, and hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal off the fireplace. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will trap the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension poles. Normally they will begin on top of the chimney 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 little area of the plastic sheeting and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned 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 in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases 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 comes to be really hot. Hardened creosote can begin to drip as well as melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers lessened air flow and this can enable carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can cause inflamed skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is incredibly flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can quickly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most effective means to eliminate creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
Just how frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fireplaces need to be examined yearly. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide to enter the home.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from developing.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
