A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as obstructions from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept yearly in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are really not effective and also are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading out tarps over the room, floor, as well as hearth. They will cover the fireplace with vinyl sheeting, placing an industrial vacuum hose pipe 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 industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outdoors. This will trap the fine soot, creosote, and other dust later.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, as well as brushes with extension rods. Generally they will begin at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, 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 then peel back a small portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and also cleaned up. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it ends up being tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, occasionally needing 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 becomes extremely hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your house in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation creates lessened airflow and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your home 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 build up, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most hazardous thing about creosote is that it is unbelievably combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney and your home. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected a minimum of once a year in order to protect against fires and poisonous build up.
Just how often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of just how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places ought to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and other issues can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves produce even more soot and creosote, they must be swept much more frequently. A great general rule is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
