A chimney sweep will certainly do a complete chimney cleaning to eliminate any kind of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys create injuries and fires each year. 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 protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not recommended. They will not get all the soot and creosote build-up out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your house by spreading tarps over the room, floor, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, placing an commercial vacuum cleaner tube right into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension hose pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, 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 chimney 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 small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be moved outside, cleared off and put away.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, downy accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it builds up much more, it becomes tar-like, and is more difficult to get rid of, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even quicker.
Creosote is unsafe in a number 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 diminished airflow and this can permit carbon monoxide to build up inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It could trigger irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system troubles, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous aspect of creosote is that it is extremely combustible. It's the most usual source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can swiftly exceed this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep carried out is the very best and most reliable means to remove creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take great care of your chimney as well as your residence. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least annually in order to prevent fires and hazardous build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how frequently you use it and also what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places need to be inspected on a yearly basis. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and other concerns can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned yearly to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves produce more residue and creosote, they should be swept more often. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
