A chimney sweep will certainly do a detailed chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries and fires yearly. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and 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 actually ineffective and 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 tarps over the room, flooring, and also hearth. 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 seal the fire place. 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 dirt later.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Generally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, thoroughly 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 little area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleaned and put away.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to remove, in some cases needing 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 fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it limits the air movement via the chimney flue. The restricted air flow causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is harmful in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and harmful for your health and wellness, and it puts your home in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers decreased air flow and this can allow carbon monoxide to build up inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and also colorless gas which can trigger flu-like symptoms, and can even lead to death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It might trigger irritated skin and eyes, breathing problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can rapidly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best as well as most effective way to remove creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at least yearly in order to protect against fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney should be cleaned depends of exactly how often you use it and what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places must be checked annually. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, particles, fractures and other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to enter the home.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep soot from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fire places and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
